The Museums Mapping Initiatives use tools such as Google Earth and animated maps to enable citizens to understand Holocaust history and bear witness to current threats of genocide across the globe. Crisis in Darfur displays the destruction in Darfur, Sudan through photographs, articles, and testimonies via Google Earth. This information appears as a Global Awareness layer in Google Earth. On July 30, the Museum updated Crisis in Darfur with the latest US Department of State data that sheds new light on the extend of the genocide in Darfur. The new data shows that more than 3300 villages have been damaged or destroyed, primarily between 2003-2005, in the Darfur region of Sudan. This is more than twice the number that was identified in previous US government assessments and strengthens the evidence of a vast, targeted campaign of destruction against civilians.
