- New York Times: Auschwitz Shifts From Memorializing to Teaching: Piotr Cywinski, director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, highlights the need for Auschwitz to be more than just a monument—a need AIPR is meeting with its Raphael Lemkin Genocide Prevention Seminars, conducted on the death camp grounds.
Twenty-five years ago this month, the U.S. Senate ratified the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. Last month, the United States was significantly involved in efforts to prevent potential mass violence around the referendum in South Sudan. But how effective has that proven, and just how well is the U.S. government equipped to help prevent genocide and mass atrocities today? What new tools are available and effective in averting mass atrocities? What tools are lacking?
