	BBC News TALKING POINT Do we need a Holocaust Memorial Day?
		I am in favour of Holocaust Memorial Day, but I think it should be renamed to encompass all forms of genocide and "ethnic cleansing" that occurred during the 20th Century.
		It should be a Remembrance Day for all the murdered innocents of all religions throughout history not forgetting yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
		The day should commemorate all victims of ethnic cleansing, otherwise we will have remembrance days all over the place and the meaning will be lost.

	SSRC :: International Dissertation Field Research Fellowships Program :: Jonathan Padwe
		This research project investigates the ways that the remembrance of genocide and war is deployed in agricultural development initiatives among the Jarai ethnic minority group of northeast Cambodia.
		Such a project requires attention to the ways that memory of genocide is invoked in day-to-day encounters between development agents and their 'target population.' It also requires investigating how communities remember.
		Each of the crop varieties the Jarai are using today has a history that is well known to the people who cultivate it; in fact, these crops may be seen as historical documents of sorts.

	The return of the Holocaust (Day) deniers TPMCafe
		But there is the other point that if you made a genocide day for each of the various genocides that have occurred throughout history, some you may never have heard of, you'd have an awful lot of genocide days.
		Obviously, jurisdictions with, say, large Armenian or Cambodian populations would likely afford those two genocides greater emphasis in terms of official remembrance.
		I realize that there have been similar genocides throughout history, but it's difficult, at least for me, not to view the Holocaust independently of, or at least as the ultimate event in, the history of genocide.
