In Person Events

With special focus on the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide and the murder and displacement of Native American communities, Genocide Awareness Week 2025 will bring different cultures of remembrance, memorialization and repair after genocide in conversation with each other. The importance of survivor testimony, the need to bring perpetrators to justice, the power and limits of representation in text and art, as well as the difficulty to represent the complexity of genocide through memorialization are shared features of confronting genocide. Equally important is the need to counter genocide denial and distortion. Starting from common themes such as these, GAW fosters dialogues among survivors, academics, activists, artists, and government officials through presentations, performances, discussions, and exhibits. https://jewishstudies.asu.edu/GAW25
