BEYOND THE
'NEVER AGAINS'
WHEN THE FIRST
CONFERENCE in the Stockholm International Forum series was being
organised in the late 1990s, there was great uncertainty about the
potential international response. After the Second World War II, even
55 years after the Holocaust, no conference at international political
level had dealt with the question of Holocaust remembrance.
In this book, Beyond the 'Never Agains', we meet 18 men and women,
experienced and knowledgeable experts, all of whom participated in at
least one of the Stockholm International Forum (SIF) conferences. We
asked their honest opinion about developments on some of the most
burning issues for the future.
During the conferences, Stockholm became a meeting place for
politicians, decision-takers and some of the world's foremost
specialists on genocide and other crimes against humanity, as well as
representatives of a range of organizations. People who had themselves
survived persecution and violation, including during the Holocaust and
the genocides in Rwanda and Cambodia, also shared their experiences.
The conferences within the series focussed on:
The Holocaust—Education, Remembrance and Research, 2000
Combating Intolerance, 2001
Truth Justice and Reconciliation, 2003
Preventing Genocide—Threats and Responsibilities, 2004.
This book comes with a CD containing full documentation of the four
conferences. The book aims to reflect the spirit of the conferences
but also to show that the issues raised are still—and must remain—on
the agenda of the international community. Otherwise we will never be
able to say 'Never Again'.
