NEVER AGAIN? THE PERPETUATION OF GLOBAL GENOCIDE
September 13, 2021

"Architects of evil and genocide still continue to practice their despicable trade and the world still reacts too passively, too late." ~ Coalition Against Global Genocide
After World War II, the cry "Never Again" referred to continuing efforts to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and ensure it is not repeated. Yet, in every decade and across the globe, there have been scores of genocides, many continuing to this day.
