Re:  Facing History Forum



Dr. Maurice Vanderpol has sent us this information about the
upcoming
online forum entitled:

* *

*LESSONS FROM THE PAST:  THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, HUMANITARIAN
INTERVENTION AND HUMAN RIGHTS, DECEMBER 1-3*

Facing History and Ourselves will host a global online
conversation for
educators, scholars, and university and graduate students
focusing on
the difficult choices individuals, groups, and nations have
confronted –
and continue to struggle with – in the face of genocide.  The
forum will
build upon the issues explored in Facing History and Ourselves
newest
resource book, _Crimes Against Humanity and Civilization:  The
Genocide
of the Armenians_, as well as examine the work of contemporary human
rights activists and scholars who challenge indifference and believe
prevention is possible.



Facing History and Ourselves staff will facilitate this three-day
online
forum with the participation of leading human rights and Armenian
Genocide scholars, including Chair of Modern Armenian History at the
University of California, Los Angeles, _Richard Hovannisian_.  Smith
College Professor and human rights activist _Eric Reeves_, a
frequent
writer and commentator on the genocide in Sudan will also join us
along
with genocide scholar _Helen Fein_, the executive director of the
International Association of Genocide Scholars.



The online forum is free of charge.  For more information, please
