This online exhibition explores how the Rohingya, a religious and ethnic minority in Burma, became targets of a sustained campaign of genocide. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has raised concerns about the risk of genocide facing the Rohingya since 2013. The Museum determined in 2018 that there was compelling evidence that the Burmese military committed genocide against them.
Curator Greg Constantine is a photographer who has documented the Rohingyas’ plight for more than 14 years. The exhibition includes many of his photographs and personal stories based on his interviews.
The exhibition Burma's Path to Genocide is now open in the Museum. Learn more and get tickets.
