While every day is the apt time to fight injustice in all its forms, Together We Remember intends to spend this April, or Genocide Awareness Month (GAM), inspiring education, action, and remembrance. GAM is a month where, as a united front across the world, we remember the lives lost to identity-based violence throughout history, and work harder than ever to prevent it from ever happening again.
In 1941, the world began to learn of the mass murder of Jewish people in what would become known as the Holocaust. In 1948, world leaders gathered, shocked by the events they had witnessed, and vowed that human rights atrocities would never happen again. In 1986, this promise was broken when 182,000 Kurds were killed during the Anfal Campaign in Iraq.
