GPN Holocaust and Genocide Review (HGR) Information Resources
GPN Issue 10, Spring 2012
Editorial Note: GPN Genocide Prevention Now compiles and maintains an ongoing international directory of organizations that promote an awareness of genocide and its ramifications along with its prevention. Unhappily, many victim groups include individuals and organizations that also have been perpetrators. Being included in this list does not necessarily represent an endorsement of the position of a group.
Are you looking to join or support a Holocaust and Genocide Organization?
GPN Genocide Prevention Now compiles and maintains an ongoing international directory of organizations that promote an awareness of genocide and its ramifications along with its prevention.
As the number of organizations continue to grow yearly, the interest, concern and dedication to confront the issue of genocide grows. Our directory is divided into the following types of organizations: Genocide Prevention Organizations, Scholarly Organizations, University-affiliated Institutes and Centers, Holocaust Organizations, Armenian Genocide Organizations, Cambodian Genocide Organizations, Kurdish Genocide Organizations, Native American Genocide Commemorative Organizations, organizations specializing in the genocides of other ethnic groups, and others.
The development of organizations in the field of Holocaust and genocide studies shows an activist as well as scholarly approach to the field. Through GPN, we want to provide an overview of the various organizations in the field, including those that address areas of genocide within their larger organization that is also committed to other purposes. We hope that people consulting GPN will be able to locate specific organizations that can assist them in their personal interest and approach to the field.
In Issue 10, we are adding an additional 4 organizations to our cumulative list of organizations that appeared in our previous issue. Each of these organizations deal with genocide prevention. We have continued to provide a description of each organization that will better acquaint people with the purpose and mission of each organization as well as all relevant contact information.
The organizations that have been added to Issue 10 are:
- Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center, White Plains, New York
- Genocide Prevention Project (GPP) - Earth Institute at Columbia University
- Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in Austria
- Institute for World Justice, Massachusetts

We are interested in receiving information about additional organizations that have not appeared on our first seven issues. We are also interested in organizations that have units or sections devoted to genocide awareness and prevention. Our aim is to build a comprehensive directory of organizations that reflect the truly interdisciplinary field of Holocaust and genocide studies.
