As part of Genocide Prevention Month, the Virginia Holocaust Museum is proud to bring together activists, scholars, witnesses, and survivors of modern genocide to discuss what all of us can do to stop these atrocities. Designed as a mini-conference, the Museum hopes to provide opportunities for everyone to meet local groups who are advocating for change.
