Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day is observed annually on August 25 to honour the victims and survivors of the brutal 2017 military crackdown by Myanmar's forces in Rakhine State. The Rohingya genocide is an ongoing military campaign of mass killings, sexual violence, and forced displacement carried out against the Muslim Rohingya minority by Myanmar's armed forces.

In August 2017, the military launched brutal "clearance operations" after insurgent attacks. Soldiers burned hundreds of villages, killed thousands of civilians, and committed widespread sexual violence. The violence forced over 700,000 Rohingya to flee across the border into Bangladesh.

Advocacy groups continue to push for global accountability and justice for the survivors. We must continue not only to remember, but to act.

TRIBUTE TO AN INSPIRATION: Today marks 20 years since Ann Kazimirski, mother of FGE President and founder Heidi Berger, passed away. A Holocaust survivor and tireless educator, Ann motivated her daughter to continue her mission to educate students about the dangers of antisemitism and other forms of hatred by telling her story of survival. She was also the inspiration for Heidi to create The Foundation for Genocide in 2014, so that every high school student would be taught about genocide.

'Mrs Ann', as she was known to her students, was a much-beloved teacher who is still remembered with love and admiration.

In these times of surging antisemitism and the normalization of antisemitism, our foundation is committed more than ever before to fulfilling Ann's mission that the Holocaust never happen again.

A new study commissioned by Heritage Canada exposes the systemic antisemitism on Canadian university campuses. This is why we must educate all students about antisemitism before they graduate from high school. This develops their empathy and critical thinking skills, and prevents the normalization of antisemitism.
Our presentations in high schools and our educational resources teach students about this age-old hate and its modern incarnation.

The Yazidi genocide was a brutal campaign of mass murder, sexual slavery, and forced conversion launched by the Islamic State (ISIS) against the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq starting on August 3, 2014. The attack resulted in the killing of thousands of Yazidis, the abduction of over 6,800 women and children, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands more. Today marks the 12th anniversary of the day when ISIS militants invaded the Sinjar district, targeting the Kurdish-speaking religious minority. Tens of thousands of Yazidis were displaced from their historic homelands, and thousands remain missing to this day. Organizations like Nadia’s Initiative continue working for global awareness, missing persons recovery, and community rebuilding.

Eighty-two years ago, the Germans liquidated the so-called "family camp for Gypsies" in Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Approximately 4,300 individuals, including children, women, and men, who were the last Roma prisoners of the camp, were murdered in gas chambers. August 2nd is observed as the Day of Remembrance for the Genocide of the Sinti and Roma.

The Roma and Sinti people have faced continuous discrimination, enslavement, and violence since arriving in Europe from Northern India in the Middle Ages. This long history of oppression peaked during World War II, when N**i Germany and its collaborators murdered up to 500,000 Roma and Sinti people in a targeted genocide.

Survivors received little to no compensation after 1945, and Western governments delayed official recognition of the Romani genocide for decades. Today, Roma and Sinti populations remain one of Europe's most disadvantaged minorities, facing daily barriers in housing, education, employment, and policing.

The Roma and Sinti genocide is one of the nine recognized genocides featured in 'Studying Genocide', the online guide for teachers featured on our website (gened.org). Education is the only path to prevent future genocides.
