"A member of this list had some questions regarding the technology necessary to access the USHMM live program, What Will It Take to Stop the Genocide in Darfur?, on April 17. Below is the response he received from the Museum. I hope it helps either for this program or those in the future. Thanks to Jason for getting the answers.
