7th Annual Holocaust and Genocides event - Native American Genocides, Gujarat Massacre and Holocaust on Sunday, January 26, 2014

The purpose of this event is education, we hope to learn and acknowledge our failings and make a personal commitment to do our individual share of saying “Never Again”. Our mission is to create awareness of the inhumanity within each one of us and hope to find the solutions.

Please check the column on the left for more details.
  • Event:  Holocaust, Genocides of Native Americans and Gujarat Massacre.
  • Theme: Sparks of Hatred and how to extinguish them 
  • Date: Sunday, January 26, 2014 
  • Time: 3:00 PM :  American Indian Genocide Museum
  • Time: 4 PM – 6 PM Full Program
  • Venue: Unity of Dallas
  • Address: 6525 Forest Ln, Dallas, TX 75230 
  • Site: www.HolocaustandGenocides.com 
  • Email: HolocaustandGenocides@gmail.com  


The goal ought to be respecting the otherness of others and accepting the God given uniqueness of each one of us, anything short of that will leave unattended-sparks ready to flare up at short notice with the whiff of oxygen.

There is a shameless cruelty in us, either we shy away or refuse to acknowledge the sufferings of others, worrying that it will devalue our own or somehow it amounts to infidelity to our own cause.  What a shame it is to believe that the victims deserved or asked for it.

We sincerely hope the attendees will walk out with the following understanding:
  • Other people’s suffering is as legitimate as mine;
  •  It is easy to see ourselves as Victims, but we must also see the perpetrator in us;
  •  When we strip the politics out of a conflict, we see hope;
  • We can value others suffering without lessening our own;
  •  The overriding desire to highlight our own blinds us from other’s suffering.
  •  A sense of responsibility for creating a better world is awakened

7th Annual Holocaust and Genocides event on Sunday January 26, 2014 at Unity Dallas.


The purpose of this event is education, we hope to learn and acknowledge our failings and make a personal commitment to do our individual share of saying “Never Again”. Our mission is to create awareness of the inhumanity within each one of us and hope to find the solutions.

  • Event:  Holocaust, Genocides of Native Americans and Gujarat Massacre.
  • Theme: Sparks of Hatred and how to extinguish them 
  • Date: Sunday, January 26, 2014 
  • Time: 3:00 PM :  American Indian Genocide Museum

Please note, due to sensibility of the event, we want to assure each one of you, that it is an all inclusive event, over the last several years, we have focused on Holocaust and Genocides across the world. This is a symbolic event to represent the Jewish Holocaust and all Genocides.

Hate is one of the many sources of disrupting peace in a smoothly functioning society,  and it is our duty, both individually and severally to track down the source of such hate and work on mitigating it. Indeed, each one of us needs to do our share of work. It is also our moral responsibility to support law and order and faithfully guard the safety of every citizen.

The spark of hatred will not disappear through the enforcement of law alone, it would be temporarily on and off the radar, but will reappear with vengeance at every little conflagration in the form of subtle to blunt Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Gay bashing, racism, xenophobia and discounting women.  No one will live in peace, as long as we keep messing with one’s space, sustenance and nurturance.  

Injustices from the past will not fall off the earth, they continue to linger and eats away peace between individuals and nations, and we are responsible to bring a closure to the loose ends of many conflicts, so we all can trust each other and feel safe, and focus on the collective prosperity of all.

The program will address preventing such occurrences, and most importantly, how to bring closure to these sparks and work on building cohesive societies, where no human has to live in apprehension or fear of the other.

What can you do?

Please mark the calendar, invite your friends and invite sponsors for the event and share about this among your friends.
