Opinion: Let's Work to Put 'Never Again' on Par With 'Never Forget' | The Jewish Exponent

A great short article by Mark Hanis, director of Genocide Intervention Network - about our need to do more in our efforts to prevent genocide. I am hoping to get Mark to the OKC area in the forthcoming months. If you have connections that could help support that effort - that would be great!
