Committee on Conscience
In  1993, the United States Holocaust Museum opened its doors. Soon after, the museum formed the Committee on Conscience, a group that tracks the threat of genocide in the world today and "seeks to amplify the voice of conscience." And amplify it does. Within the wealth of content on their site, you'll find news about areas of concern, analysis related to the prevention and punishment of genocide, photo galleries, and podcasts from such humanitarians as New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof and Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Wiesel. Specific subsections lead you further into such areas as Darfur, Chechnya, and Rwanda, places all too familiar with human cruelty. The Darfur section includes a response to the question that creeps up in all of us when faced with these horrors: What can I do? (in Crime) |
