Ep. 89 Remembering to Prevent: Dr. Marco González on Holocaust Memory, Human Rights, and Education
<p>In this episode, we have the honor of speaking with Dr. Marco González- a historian, researcher, and advocate for historical memory whose professional career has been dedicated to the study of the Holocaust, genocides, and mass human rights violations.</p><p>Originally from Guatemala, Marco currently serves as the Director of Yahad-In Unum, an international organization founded by French Catholic priest Father Patrick Desbois. Through its documentation of the mass executions carried out in Eastern Europe during the Second World War- commonly known as the Holocaust by Bullets—the organization has transformed our understanding of the Holocaust.</p><p>Over more than twenty years of work, Marco has participated in field investigations across numerous countries in Eastern Europe, helping locate thousands of mass graves and collecting more than 8,000 eyewitness testimonies from the mass shootings of Jewish and Romani communities. His work has been essential in recovering stories that remained silent for decades and in deepening our understanding of the social dynamics that made one of the greatest crimes in modern history possible.</p><p>In addition to his investigative work, Marco has led important educational initiatives aimed at preventing hatred, racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination. Among his many accomplishments is the creation and development of the Guatemala Holocaust Museum, a pioneering institution in Central America that seeks to connect the lessons of the Holocaust with the contemporary challenges facing the region while promoting a culture of remembrance, tolerance, and human rights.</p><p>In this conversation, we explore the importance of historical memory, the role of education in preventing violence, the challenges of documenting mass crimes decades after they occurred, and the connections between the experiences of Europe, Latin America, and other regions marked by genocide, armed conflict, and human rights violations.</p>

Ep. 88 Memory, Human Rights, and International Justice: A Conversation with José Antonio Guevara Bermúdez
<p>In this episode of Voces en Español, we have the great pleasure of speaking with José Antonio Guevara Bermúdez, one of Mexico’s leading experts in international human rights law, international justice, and the fight against impunity.</p><p>A graduate of Universidad Iberoamericana and holder of a doctorate in Fundamental Rights from the Carlos III University of Madrid, José Antonio has dedicated more than two decades to advancing human rights through academia, civil society, international organizations, and public service.</p><p>He has held senior positions within Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights, and various international human rights protection mechanisms.</p><p>Currently, he serves as Academic Director of the Museum of Memory and Tolerance in Mexico City and teaches at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala. His work focuses on international crimes, transitional justice, historical memory, and accountability for serious human rights violations.</p><p>In this conversation, we explore the role of memory in the pursuit of justice, the importance of human rights education, contemporary challenges facing democratic societies, and the findings of a recent international investigation into human rights violations committed under the state of emergency regime in El Salvador. Together, we reflect on the enduring relevance of memory, accountability, and international justice in an increasingly complex world.</p>

Ep. 87 From Surveillance to Genocide: The Criminal Police and the Persecution of Sinti and Roma
<p>In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Cantrell-Sutor speaks with historian Verena Meier about the persecution of Sinti and Roma under Nazi rule and the central role of the criminal police in implementing discriminatory policies, deportations, and genocide. </p><p>Drawing on extensive archival research, Meier examines how systems of surveillance, data collection, and racial classification enabled persecution at the local level while granting significant power to individual police officials. The conversation also explores overlooked histories of resistance, the experiences of Sinti and Roma women who challenged Nazi authorities on behalf of their families, and the ethical responsibilities of researchers working with survivor and descendant communities. </p><p>Together, they reflect on the enduring importance of studying bureaucracy, persecution, and memory in Holocaust history.</p>
