Watertown, MA—On Sunday April 27st, the Armenian Museum of
America will present a joint commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, the
Tibetan Genocide and the Genocide in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
As it has been our custom in recent years, each April, we
commemorate with other victim groups. Armenian-Americans understandably focus
each April on commemorating the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide
provided a blueprint for all too many Genocides in the 20th century. Sadly, Genocides
continue; only the victims change, and we must share and remember
their pain as well.
This year’s joint commemoration will feature talks by
Tenzin Dorjee, Former Executive Director of Students for a Free Tibet, Anthony
Kasongo, Executive Director of Congolese Genocide Awareness, Inc. and
Khatchig Mouradian, Editor of the Armenian Weekly newspaper. Photographic
exhibitions on Tibet and Congo, and our Museum’s Traveling Armenian Genocide
Exhibit will be on display in the 3rd floor galleries. The Museum’s permanent
Armenian Genocide exhibition is on display on the 2nd floor.
