Stories of Exile - Genocide Unmasked

Genocide Unmasked: Naming the Crimes, Seeing the Faces

The word genocide did not exist before WWII but is now recognized as a crime by the international community.  Join Dr. J.E. 
Wolfson, State Coordinator of Education for the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission, for a discussion 
of how genocide came to be conceived and labeled in an effort to criminalize the offense and prevent its recurrence—with a look 
into how genocides have occurred around the world, what features are evident among them, how survivors have testified to their 
ordeals, and what challenges genocides still pose.  This program is supported in part by the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and 
Antisemitism Advisory Commission and the Texas Historical Commission and refreshments are provided by the American Library 
Association.
