The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum says "there is compelling evidence that the Burmese military committed ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and genocide against the Rohingya, the Muslim minority population of Burma." As Congress discusses how to respond to Myanmar's genocide against Rohingya Muslims, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Trump administration have continually refused to call this atrocity what it is. We can't let them turn their back on this human rights atrocity. They must acknowledge the genocide against the Rohingya.
Why is this important?
As a daughter of Holocaust survivors, I feel a strong obligation to speak out against genocide wherever and to whomever it occurs.
