With the goal of bringing heightened awareness to current and historic global turmoil, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will light up with the faces of those most affected by genocide. The images, speaking visual truth to power, aim to focus the attention of leaders and the public on the ongoing need to give true meaning to “Never Again.”

Beginning Monday, November 14th, these larger-than-life images will be projected onto the museum’s exterior raise awareness of past and current atrocities in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur, Burma, Syria, and Iraq. On opening night, the Museum’s Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide will gather journalists and experts to discuss what we have learned from decades of responding to and reporting on atrocities, and what can be done to protect lives put at risk by mass violence.
