Special Thanks
And a very special thanks to SSU sculpture technician John-Scott Forester. His indefatigable energy, extraordinary knowledge and skills, and his commitment helped make this memorial a reality.
It is our hope that we have acknowledged everyone who has brought this project forward from conception to reality.
The crime of genocide stems from prejudice, ignorance, extremism, hate, intolerance, and complacency. Genocide thrives when good people ignore an injustice committed against another. The men and women listed below had the determination and grace to stand up and speak out when they witnessed oppression in their worlds.
They are an ongoing inspiration to all of us to have the courage to do the same.
