UNESCO patronage. They will also join efforts to organize an international symposium on Holocaust education and research that will take place in May 2018 at the Holocaust Museum of Guatemala.
In October 2017, as part of its efforts to increase international awareness of the Yazidi genocide, YIU opened its exhibit “Daesh’s Crimes Against the Yazidis: The Survivors Speak” at the United Nations headquarters in New York. The photo exhibition took a deeper look at the crimes committed by ISIS against the Yazidi minority group by following the witness testimonies gathered by Yahad’s Action Yazidis initiative in refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan.
YIU has developed various educational programs across Europe, similar to the training program organized for the guides of Auschwitz Museum in January. In December 2017, in partnership with the Holocaust Memorial Center of Budapest, YIU travelled to Hungary for the first time to conduct two days of intense seminars focusing on the Holocaust by Bullets for high school teachers and Holocaust educators from Hungary, Romania and Croatia. For the last five years, YIU and the Mémorial de Caen Museum have hosted a three-day seminar for European history teachers on “The Holocaust by Bullets” and persecution of the Roma in Eastern Europe. Applications for the next seminar, that will be held in Paris and Caen in November 2018, will be soon opened online.
