Our goals are of increasing relevance & importance to society: Educating about genocide, giving survivors a voice, & empowering generations to recognise & stand against the hatred that fuels such atrocities. It's always nice to see the impact made by the stories of our speakers. twitter.com/FoundIshami/st…

“Genocide is uniquely perverse. But we must resist the temptation to brand it ‘unthinkable.’ Human actions must not hide behind the enormity of their abhorrence from analysis, challenge and reckoning.” Dr Piotr Cieplak @PiotrCieplak #Genocide70

“Genocide is a crime committed not by monsters or demons but by humans who have forsaken their humanity; therefore let us illuminate even the darkest corners of our world with the light of our humanity.” Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis @chiefrabbi #Genocide70

“JP, who survived the genocide hiding in a septic tank and I watch footage of the murders on the TV. “Dogs,” he says, “they act like dogs.” But no, dogs don’t do that. We humans are our own worst animals. [We must be better.]” Elizabeth Spackman @esenjas #Genocide70

“As a History teacher in Rwanda I taught WWII & the genocide convention. I never dreamt genocide would happen in my country. I thought the international community would prevent it. I was wrong.” Alphonsine Kabagabo @AKabagabo #Genocide70

“Genocide is prepared for. Populist politicians’ rhetoric can demonise others, fan flames or sow seeds of aggressive emotions lurking in us all – envy, anger, resentment – turned to fatal hatred, disgust, contempt.” Professor Ruth Padel @ruthpadel #Genocide70

“The day I learned the word genocide, I didn't like it. It's not a popular topic, it’s disturbing to think, teach & talk about. But if we do, prevention is possible. We must respond to warning signs. Lemkin taught us that.” Dr Nic Wetherall MBE @RWBAHolocaust #Genocide70

“‘Intent to destroy, in whole or in part…’ Legal definitions enable particular types of important responses to genocide whilst simultaneously obscuring other aspects of the violence: its intimacy and intergenerational force.” Dr Nicola Palmer @nicolapalmer83 #Genocide70

“On May 9 1992 we ran to the forest. We saw our village Glogova, near Srebrenica, burning. For us that day the war started. We never thought Serbians would come to our place to kill us. In hiding we could not speak, only breathe.” Ado Hasanović @ado_hasanovic #Genocide70
