Michael Abramowitz: Just to watch the pictures on the wall tonight kind of give me goose
bumps because it says to me what the Museum is all about. We are about honoring the victims
of the Holocaust. We are about remembering and preserving the memory of the Holocaust,
for forever. But, in addition to that we are about trying to use our resources, use our
assets, to try to convey to people the risks and the horror of contemporary genocide and
to connect what happened 65 years ago to what is happening now and in the future.
Omer Ismail: To see these images you are compelled to do something to help these people - that's
humanity. That bigger identity that we all carry and any time that we see the rights
of human beings abused around the world, we should stand up. And with the loudest voice
we should call on the rest of the world and say "no," this should not stand and we have
to stop this.
