#GenocidePreventionDay | The Shoah was unprecedented and incomparable but unfortunately not the last Genocide. More victims were subjected to crimes of genocide, under the watch of the United Nations.
This fascinating exhibition reveals, amongst others, the stories of Simon Wiesenthal, Emmanuel Ringelblum and Rachel Auerbach, Raphael Lemkin, Vasily Grossman, Alfred Wiener, Eva Reichmann and more. All pioneers who documented the horrors of the Holocaust. #GenocidePreventionDay
#GenocidePreventionDay | We are proud to partner with @GermanyUNGeneva to bring this exhibition @UNGeneva.
🇮🇱@AmbRazShechter: "It was certainly obvious and clear to these pioneers that this would be their way to process what they have been through, the genocide of their People."
“Crimes Uncovered - The First Generation of Holocaust Researchers” is a new exhibition at @UNGeneva commemorating the lives of 20 researcher pioneers of the #Holocaust and their endeavors to underline the importance of remembrance, documentation and prosecution after the WW2.
In 1943, Raphael Lemkin was 1️⃣ to use the term #genocide to describe the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the Jews during the #Holocaust.
Today, together with @GermanyUNGeneva, we will honor him and other researchers/institutes for their pioneer work.

Israel follows with concern recent steps taken by Turkey in the Mediterranean.
Ignoring customary international laws of the sea can jeopardize peace and stability in the area.

1|2 #Migration poses real challenges, but equally represents great opportunities. The particular story of #Israel is an example of how the successful integration of large flows of immigrants actually boosts the society and the economy rather than sets them back. #iomcouncil19.
