Witness to Genocide featuring Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Romeo A. Dallaire


Witness to Genocide – 15th Annual Kristallnacht featuring Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Romeo A. Dallaire

The former commander of the United Nations’ peacekeeping force in Rwanda will talk about the genocide of 800,000 Rwandans in 100 days, which he witnessed in 1993-94, Wednesday, Nov. 9th at 7:00 p.m. and 12Noon in the Theatre (Building 4) on MCC’s Brighton Campus.  The Noon presentation will be web cast to Room 4151 at the Damon City Campus.  Tickets are required but free to MCC faculty, staff and students.  Tickets are available at the Brighton Campus Center Service Desk and Damon Campus bookstore. 

Dallaire’s visit is part of the Human Rights Series organized by students in the Holocaust Genocide Studies Project (HGSP) and the Brighton Campus Activities Board. Genocides in Rwanda and Sudan motivated the students to host a series of events this fall to explore the world’s response, or lack thereof, to government-sponsored massacres that continue to claim thousands of lives each year.
