Armenian Genocide, the Tibetan Genocide and the Genocide in the Democratic

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.
