April 10-12 marks the anniversary of the looting of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad in 2003. In this video, Dr. Donny George Youkhanna, the former director of the Iraq Museum, urged us to participate in a worldwide candlelight vigil to commemorate the tragic events, and to end the looting and destruction of cultural heritage in Iraq, and around the world. The Donny George Candlelight Vigil for Glabal Heritage was initiated in 2007 by SAFE/Saving Antiquities for Everyone and renamed after Dr. Youkhanna, who passed away in March 2011.
