About the Installation

From Memory To Action: Meeting The Challenge of Genocide is an interactive installation that uses cutting edge technology and compelling eyewitness stories to invite visitors to join a growing community of people taking action against genocide. Located in the Museum's Wexner Center, the installation introduces visitors to the concept and law of genocide, to three contemporary cases of genocide — Rwanda, Srebrenica in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the Darfur region of Sudan — and to eyewitness testimonies from activists, survivors, rescuers, journalists, humanitarian aid workers, and more. It also poses the question to each visitor: "What will you do to meet the challenge of genocide?"
