The Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide is dedicated to stimulating timely global action to prevent genocide and to catalyze an international response when it occurs. Our goal is to make the prevention of genocide a core foreign policy priority for leaders around the world through a multipronged program of research, education, and public outreach.

Today marks six years since genocide was committed against the Rohingya—an ethnic and religious minority group in Burma. We solemnly remember those who were killed and recognize the enduring trauma that continues to plague victims and survivors.

During the genocide, the Burmese military massacred men, women, and children. They destroyed homes, schools, and mosques. The following testimonies are from some of those who managed to escape. Their eyewitness accounts share what happened in the moments leading up to the horrific violence, and the atrocities they will never forget. They also reflect on what life was like before the attacks, and how decades of persecution took away their rights little by little, paving the way for genocide.

These stories show what Rohingya lives were once like and how decades of persecution culminated in genocide.

08/24/2023

Six years after the Burmese military committed genocide against the Rohingya, civilians in Burma remain at risk.

Watch our recent event featuring Tom Andrews, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, and civil society leaders Myra Dahgaypaw, Gum San Nsang, Wai Wai Nu, and Rosalinn Zahau to learn more about current threats, challenges, and the way forward to protect civilians, prevent future crimes, and seek justice.

Civilians in have again been the victims of mass atrocities and remain at risk of further crimes.

Today, we hosted Ambassador John Godfrey and experts from the US government and civil society to discuss efforts to document these crimes and protect civilians—an important step toward accountability.

Honored to meet today at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum with experts and activists documenting and confronting atrocities in Darfur and elsewhere in Sudan, with the aim of promoting accountability and preventing further atrocities and affronts to human dignity. The fighting must stop.

Today we commemorate the 9 year anniversary of the genocide against the Yezidi people in Iraq by ISIS. Amid these horrific atrocities, Archbishop Najeeb Michaeel worked to safeguard human life and preserve centuries of culture.

Just before the arrival of ISIS in August 2014, Archbishop Michaeel demonstrated remarkable courage and resourcefulness. Recognizing the immense cultural and historical value at stake, he rescued over a thousand rare manuscripts spanning from the 13th to 19th centuries. With quick thinking, he loaded these precious texts into his car, ensuring their preservation.

He meticulously created digital copies of thousands of manuscripts. Among the rescued manuscripts were Christian, Muslim, and Jewish texts written in various languages such as Aramaic, Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, and Hebrew.

Then, as ISIS descended on Iraq, he helped evacuate targeted religious and ethnic communities to safety.

Archbishop Michaeel's efforts are a testament to the power of human resilience and determination in the face of violence and destruction.

📷 : Archbishop Michaeel shows the rescued manuscripts to Simon-Skjodt Center director Naomi Kikoler on a recent trip to Iraq.

LIVE NOW: Join us and the US Institute of Peace for a discussion of the warning signs for mass atrocities in Central Africa. This event will touch on the drivers of hate speech and best practices for locally-led atrocity prevention.

06/30/2023

A year ago, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the official finding that the Burmese military had committed genocide and crimes against humanity against the Rohingya. In 2021, that same military seized power in a coup and since then has cracked down on civilians across the country. Those who razed Rohingya villages and r***d and murdered civilians have not been held accountable.

The situation is now perilous for communities across Burma as the military doubles down on repressive tactics. How can the international community mitigate the risks civilians face, prevent future mass atrocities, and promote justice? This discussion brought together Burmese civil society leaders and senior international policymakers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

06/29/2023

20 years after we first warned of genocide, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and its Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide are again issuing an urgent warning of genocide risk in Darfur.

Over 1100 people have already been killed and over 2.5 million displaced. The world must not allow history to be repeated.

World leaders urged to recommit themselves to ending ongoing crimes against civilians.

06/21/2023

"We are at an important and perilous inflection in the crisis in Myanmar (Burma). I believe that it is critical that the international community face the fact that what we are doing or not doing about this crisis is not working. We are failing the people of Myanmar. It is imperative that we change course with this."

Hear from UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews on what must be done to help these victims and survivors of mass atrocities who continue to be targeted and live under threat.

This Museum exhibition explores how the Rohingya, a religious and ethnic minority in Burma, went from citizens to outsiders—and became targets of a sustained campaign of genocide.

Photographer and curator Greg Constantine discusses the creation of the exhibition, the process for telling such a complex and important story, and the approach he and the exhibition team took to ensure that Rohingya victims’ and survivors’ experiences were told in their own voices.

Indonesia is currently experiencing an increase in political tensions, extremism, and violent conflict in its two easternmost provinces, Papua and Papua Barat. There are early warning signs of large-scale violence against civilians. Immediate action is needed to prevent violence and help save lives. Our new report, “‘Don’t Abandon Us’: Preventing Mass Atrocities in Papua, Indonesia,” by Simon-Skjodt Fellow Made Supriatma explains the risk factors that could lead to mass killings in the next 12–18 months, and what can be done to reduce these risks. https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/countries/indonesia/preventing-mass-atrocities-in-papua-indonesia

History shows that victims and survivors of mass atrocities are the most compelling champions for justice. Our Pursuing Justice handbook is a practical tool to guide them through documenting atrocity crimes, seeking justice, and holding perpetrators to account. The handbook is now available in Arabic, English, French, Russian, and Ukrainian. https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/reports-and-resources/pursuing-justice-for-mass-atrocities

The Handbook, a groundbreaking educational resource by practitioner Sarah McIntosh, offers guidance on what victim groups can do to advance justice efforts during and in the aftermath of genocide and related crimes against humanity.

We mourn and honor Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, a longtime partner of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide and a co-chair of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Genocide Prevention Task Force. Her words and deeds inspired countless people to prevent genocide and mass atrocities.

“Our challenge is to match words to deeds to stop allowing the unacceptable.”

We mourn and remember Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who held a personal connection to our Museum and was dedicated to genocide prevention.

In 1997, she visited Prague, where she was born in 1937. There, she toured the historic Pinkas Synagogue, where on the walls are listed the names of more than 77,000 Jews from the Czech lands who were killed in the Holocaust. Albright found the names of her grandparents, Arnost and Olga Korbel.

“I had always known that the Holocaust had existed. … I just didn’t know that it applied to my family personally.”

Albright and her family fled N**i-occupied Prague when she was almost two years old. She was raised Catholic and learned of her Jewish ancestry just months before that visit to Prague.

“It's one thing to find out you're Jewish. It’s another thing to find out that your grandparents had died in the Holocaust.”

Albright spent much of her career advocating for human rights, including helping to develop a blueprint for governments around the world to prevent genocide as co-chair of the Museum's Genocide Prevention Task Force.

She spent her career in foreign service and was sworn in as the United States’ first female Secretary of State in 1997.

On March 21, 2022, Naomi Kikoler, director of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, spoke with Rohingya experts about the genocide against their community. Earlier that day, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the Museum and formally recognized that the Burmese military committed genocide and crimes against humanity against the Rohingya people in Burma.

03/21/2022

In a significant moment today, Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and formally recognized that the Burmese military committed genocide and crimes against humanity against the Rohingya people in Burma.

While this determination is an important recognition of the experiences of so many Rohingya, it sadly confirms our collective failure to prevent genocide despite decades of warning signs. People in Burma today, particularly members of ethnic and religious minority groups, continue to face the risk of mass atrocities. We must do better to prevent mass atrocities in the future.

Today is the 11th anniversary of the start of the deadly conflict in Syria. We spoke with Fadel Abdul Ghany, the CEO of Syrian Network for Human Rights - SNHR, about the Syrian regime's crimes. The regime has arbitrarily arrested civilians and detained them in horrific conditions, where they are subjected to torture and other crimes. The portraits here share the stories of men and women who have been disappeared. These are just a few of the more than 100,000 who have been detained—their fates unknown. https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/blog/portraits-of-the-disappeared-interview-fadel-abdul-ghany

One year after the ​Burmese ​military seized power in a coup​,​ we take a look at ​Burma's new era of violence and terror. Since last year’s coup, the military has violently suppressed widespread protests, killing approximately 1,500 civilians, including nearly 100 children. ​With the perpetrators of genocide ​now ​in charge of the country​,​​ ​​the Rohingya​ people​ and other religious and ethnic minorities​ face increased risks ​of ​mass atrocit​ies​. ​https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/blog/perpetrators-in-power

One year after Burma’s military leaders seized power in a coup, the risk of further mass atrocities against the Rohingya and other ethnic and religious minorities across the country is growing.

Arsalan Suleman (Counsel, Foley Hoag), Naomi Kikkoler (Director, Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide), and May Sabe Phyu (Women's Rights Advocate).

The event will be live-streamed on BROUK's page.

Many thanks to Lauri Zell for arranging an amazing tour of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and a discussion with Jenn Schmidt of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide. Fall 2022 had a very worthwhile and enriching Friday!
🗓️ Join us on Thursday for 'Detention in Syria: Stealing Assets to Fuel Conflict' a special webinar with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide and The Association of Detainees and The Missing in Sednaya Prison (ADMSP) on how the Assad regime steals assets from Syrians whom it has forcibly disappeared to retain power and control in Syria.

The cruelty of the Assad regime’s crimes in detention has long made headlines. Now information about stolen assets presents new and disturbing insights into a significant motivation behind mass detention and the potential risks to civilians who remain in or who may be forced to return to Syria.
