Holocaust Education and the Prevention of Genocide

From June 28th to July 3rd 2010 a group of international experts from the fields of Holocaust education, human rights protection, and genocide prevention convened at the Salzburg Global Seminar for a conference entitled "The Global Prevention of Genocide: Learning from the Holocaust", chaired by Dr. Klaus Müller, Representative for Europe of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

This conference was developed by the Salzburg Global Seminar in cooperation with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and sponsored by generous grants from the Austrian Zukunftsfonds and the Jacob Blaustein Institute. The conversations and presentations during the week focused on the question if and how Holocaust education could raise awareness of contemporary genocides, strengthen a culture of genocide prevention, and contribute to human rights education.
