A representative of Jewish groups will join a meeting on Sudan with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Hannah Rosenthal, executive director of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, will join leaders of other faith groups at Wednesday's meeting to urge greater international leadership to stop what many are calling a genocide in the African nation.

Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel and Sara Bloomfield, the director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, will also participate in the meeting. Government-backed Arab militias have killed tens of thousands of Africans in Sudan in the past year.
