Communist Genocides Past and Present

Join for an intimate educator’s workshop hosted by the Cambodian Genocide Resource Center and the Uyghur Genocide Online Resource Center

June 4, 2025 5:30-7:00pm

Not all genocides look like the Holocaust. While the Holocaust remains the most widely studied genocide, understanding how genocides have occurred under different political systems is critical for a comprehensive education. This session explores the Cambodian Genocide (1975-1979) and the ongoing genocide of Uyghurs in China, helping educators examine how totalitarian and communist regimes have perpetrated mass atrocities. Join us to learn how to broaden students’ understanding of genocide, recognize its warning signs in varied contexts, and foster informed and empathetic global citizens. To attend this virtual event, please make sure to register to receive the Zoom information.

This event is made possible thanks to the support of the California Collaborative for Holocaust and Genocide Education.
