Genocide education progress, gaps and the power of story

Each month, I search for a topic that feels both timely and meaningful. This April, I kept returning to the question of genocide education and how it is making a difference. 

To answer that, I spoke with three leaders working on the front lines: Lizzy Carroll of Facing History and Ourselves; Kerry Flynn of The Genocide Education Project; and Pauline Getzoyan of the Rhode Island Holocaust and Genocide Education Commission. Their perspectives, spanning classrooms, nonprofits and state-level initiatives, reveal a field that has made significant progress but still faces real challenges.
