Rosenbluth Family Charitable Foundation Genocide Awareness Week 2026
2026-04-13 - 2026-04-16 | AZ
Monday, April 13 – Thursday, April 16, 2026

The theme of GAW 2026 is to examine some of the ways in which the global retreat from democracy and new authoritarianism connect with historic and contemporary cases of genocide. In the present era, the world is experiencing a resurgence in extremism, exclusionary nationalism, and authoritarianism. At the same time, democracies, even longstanding, stable ones, have experienced erosion and backsliding in democratic processes, practices, and institutions. These trends are highly concerning given that authoritarian states are particularly prone to genocide and mass violence.
