Genocide Memorials

Genocide memorials are sites established to honor and remember the victims of genocides—mass killings aimed at eradicating specific groups based on ethnicity, religion, or nationality. These memorials serve as important reminders of past atrocities, aiming to educate the public, foster healing, and promote awareness of human rights issues. By commemorating the victims, they also strive to prevent future genocides by highlighting the consequences of hatred and intolerance. Memorials can take various forms, including physical structures, museums, or public spaces, and often incorporate art, inscriptions, or interactive exhibits to engage visitors in reflection and learning.
