Joint Commemoration of Three Genocides

Armenian Library and Museum of America, Watertown MA, will commemorate the Armenian Genocide, Ukrainian Genocide and Great Hunger of the Irish people. Sunday, April 22, 3:15pm
free and open to the public 

ALMA will commemorate the Armenian Genocide along with the Ukrainian Genocide of the 1930’s, largely forgotten today, and the Great Hunger of the Irish people in the 1840’s resulting from the deliberate "Potato Famine”, each one of them causing millions of deaths.

The event will consist of brief talks by Dr. Joseph Downes on the Irish Great Hunger, Dr. Dikran Kaligian on the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide, and Attorney Paul Rabchenuk on the Ukrainian Genocide. The commemoration will be followed by a brief Ukrainian religious service with Fr. Roman Tarnavsky from St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Jamaica Plain and the St. Andrew church choir under the direction of Gene Moroz.. ALMA has arranged for a travelling exhibition on the Ukrainian Holodomor to be on display in the Terjenian-Thomas Gallery, courtesy of the Connecticut Holodomor Awareness Committee.
