We are haunted by the stories and the images of too many mass atrocities, by the unprecedented genocides in Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa. 

Remembrance ceremonies and memorials are very important. We owe it to the victims and their families. Central tool to raise awareness, especially among generations that have not lived through such tragedies is remembrance, research and education.
