The Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, on Thursday joined civil advocacy group the Syrian Emergency Task Force for a panel reflecting on the Syrian war, as its 10th anniversary approaches.
Naomi Kikoler, director of the Holocaust Museum’s Simon-Skjodt Centre for the Prevention of Genocide, said its campaign against the violence in Syria is part of its "Never Again" mission.
“The reason we’ve been so involved and committed is because ... we have been watching crimes unfold before our eyes in vivid detail but have not seen action taken to protect lives,” Ms Kikoler said.
“We've seen the gap between the rhetoric and reality of ‘never again’, and I dare say the hypocrisy of that commitment statement rings so stark in the context of Syria.”
