The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Google Inc. teamed to raise awareness on the genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. The project, launched Tuesday, offers Google Earth users a bird’s-eye view of the region, where government-backed Janjaweed militias have killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions in the past four years. “This project will enable vast numbers of people worldwide to locate and visualize with great specificity both the events in Darfur and the millions of victims of those events,” Sara Bloomfield, director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, told the San Francisco Chronicle.
