More than 70 years after the Holocaust, genocide and other violent atrocities remain a threat to global peace and security. Since 2008, the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities (AIPG) has worked to build a world that resists and prevents genocide, driven by the knowledge that governments and individuals can act to save lives before, during, and after the outbreak of mass violence, but that doing so requires training, technical know-how, resources, and a commitment to action among multiple stakeholders. We pursue a world where never again are people targeted for violence and death due to their identity. AIPG’s core programming trains, equips, and empowers government officials and community leaders with the tools to confront the risk factors and warning signs of violence based on identity-- an approach that no other organization takes. Our growing network of international alumni form a global architecture that is leading nations in preventing, responding to, and recovering from identity-based violence. We also facilitate the creation of regional and international cooperation networks to promote a multilateral approach to protecting vulnerable populations, strengthening democracy, and preventing mass atrocities.

Haiti Cultural Exchange (HCX) was launched in 2009 to develop, present and promote the cultural expressions of the Haitian people. We raise awareness of social issues and foster cultural understanding and appreciation through programs in the arts, education and public affairs. HCX programs aim to: attract and educate those interested in Haitian artistic expression; create a platform for emerging artists; and provide a space where Haitians can build community and connect with others interested in Haiti, its culture and heritage. We have a strong track record of collaboration with cultural, educational and preservation organizations across New York City. We offer Haitian artists unique opportunities to present their work to broad audiences, especially through our partnerships with community organizations like MoCADA, the Brooklyn Museum, and Five Myles Gallery. We have developed a rich offering of cultural programs including: An n’ Pale, a monthly lecture and discussion series; Ti Atis Youth Programs with PS 189; and a new film series providing diverse audiences with vital opportunities to explore Haitian culture. Our work has been recognized by the Union Square Awards and the Citizens Committee, among others, for representing the positive side of Haitian culture and encouraging cross-cultural exchanges among Haitians and the broader NYC community. In rural communities in Haiti, farmers come together to help their neighbors plant their fields in a traditional farming cooperative effort called a Konbit—a collaborative community effort to ensure the largest possible harvest for all community members. Just as the Haitian Konbit brings people together for the common cause of planting the land, HCX seeks to bring together people, ideas, and communities to grow their understanding of and involvement with Haitian culture.
