For the first time at the expert level, representatives of various professional communities will discuss crimes against historical and cultural heritage as an element of genocidal policies and the destruction of national identity and statehood. This perspective on genocide has become possible thanks to the “No Statute of Limitations” project, which has enabled a legal and public assessment of this phenomenon and helped form a consolidated stance of rejecting Nazism in all its manifestations.
