We recommend going to the following websites for information on teaching about genocide prevention:
The Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre:
_The Kigali Memorial Centre was opened on the 10th
Anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide, in April 2004. The Centre is built
on a site where over 250,000 people are buried. These graves are a clear
reminder of the cost of ignorance. The Centre is a permanent
memorial to those who fell victim to the genocide and serves as a place
for people to grieve those they lost. For more information on its educational programs, please click here.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:
A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. The Museum has many resources for teachers striving to help students learn the history of the Holocaust and reflect upon the moral and ethical questions raised by that history.
