Boston, MA - An unprecedented event will mark the 90th anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide at 7:30 pm on Thursday, April 21 in Boston
University's Morse Auditorium at 602 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston.
The Road to Redemption: Memories of the 1915 Armenian Genocide is a
program consisting of a contextual-based historical time line, live
and recorded survivor accounts, and images of activities worldwide
demanding recognition and justice for this crime against humanity.
During the month of April, Armenians across the globe commemorate the
victims of this genocide. Boston was one of numerous cities around the
world that became home to the survivors of the first state-sponsored
genocide of the 20th Century. Ninety years ago the government of
Turkey executed a plan to exterminate the Armenian people. Under the
guise of the First World War, 1.5 million Armenians were murdered and
a 3,000 year-old culture was virtually annihilated.
The Road to Redemption: Memories of the 1915 Armenian Genocide is
organized by the Greater Boston Committee to Commemorate the Armenian
Genocide -- an umbrella organization of all area churches and major
civic groups -- in cooperation with Boston University Armenian
Students Association. Admission to this special event is free;
however, seating is limited. Doors close at 7:30pm. This event is not
