Holocaust museum highlights Myanmar's Rohingya

People look at photographs by Greg Constantine showing the plight of Burma's Rohingya people, projected on the exterior walls of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, Monday, Nov. 4, 2013. Just a few blocks from the White House where Myanmar’s president was feted for working for democracy, another side of his country is now on display at a more haunting Washington landmark: the plight of its most beleaguered people, the Rohingya Muslims, depicted in photos projected onto the external walls of the Holocaust Memorial Museum. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) WASHINGTON (AP) — Myanmar's acclaimed move toward democracy is obscuring the desperate plight of homeless and stateless Rohingya Muslims forced to flee in a deadly outbreak of sectarian violence, according to a Holocaust Memorial Museum exhibit that projects vivid images of the tragedy on the museum's outside walls at night.
