It explores the history of the genocide, the conditions that led to it and its legacy.

Docent-led tours, which are free to the public, are available for groups of 10 to 15 people on Wednesdays April 6, 13 and 20. Tours are by reservation only, and reservations can be made by calling 561-297-2929. A public forum with the exhibition's curator will be Monday, April 25, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the library.
