On February 23, 1944, the Soviet NKVD began its operation to deport the entire Chechen and Ingush nations to Siberia and Central Asia. What happened during the deportation process and years of exile? Sixty years later, what is the continuing legacy of the deportations in both Chechen and Russian societies? The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Committee on Conscience, which has placed Chechnya on its Genocide Watch list, invites you to join us for a panel to discuss these questions.
