Women Not Victims: Moving Beyond Sexualized Atrocities During Genocide - Special Exhibit of Testimonies Photos Video Footage at Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County on Long Island New York.
The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) presents a special exhibit, "Women, Not Victims: Moving Beyond Sexualized Atrocities During Genocide." The testimonies, photos and video footage on display shatter the silence on sexualized atrocities and give voice to the victims and survivors.
Recognized as a crime against humanity, sexual violence manifests in multiple ways including: rape, sexual slavery, forced pregnancy, forced abortion, involuntary sterilization, forced nudity, sexualized humiliation, "sex" for survival, child marriage and sexualized "experiments." In all its forms, sexualized atrocities have always been used as a weapon of mass destruction. Some photos in this exhibit are graphic and have been included as a form of evidence. This exhibit is not recommended for children.
The mission of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County is to teach the history of the Holocaust and its lessons through education and community outreach. We teach about the dangers of antisemitism, racism, bullying and all other manifestations of intolerance. We promote resistance to prejudice and advocate respect for every human being. |
