    Pasadena ANC Joins Jewish Community In Marking Holocaust and Armenian Genocide

    Members of the Armenian American community will join together with
    their Jewish-American neighbors in the City of Pasadena on April 11th
    to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day at the Pasadena Jewish Temple and
    Center. The event will honor Holocaust survivors and will also mark
    the Armenian Genocide.

    The Pasadena Armenian National Committee has reached out over the past
    several years to build ties with the Jewish-American community in the
    City of Pasadena.

    Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA), the chief sponsor of the Armenian
    Genocide resolution pending in the U.S. House of Representatives, is
    slated to be the keynote speaker at the Holocaust Remembrance Day
    event at the Temple. Father Khoren Baboushian from Pasadena's St.
    Sarkis church will light a candle in remembrance to all victims of
    crimes against humanity and then provide a prayer to those survivors
    and victims of the Holocaust and Armenian Genocide.

    "We are pleased to be participating in a human rights event being
    organized by the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center to mark the
    Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide and all crimes against humanity,"
    remarked Pasadena ANC Executive Director Ishkhan Boghossian. "The
    Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide represent dark moments in our
    collective memory and are events that can never be forgotten,"
    Boghossian added.

    The Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center's event marking Holocaust
    Remembrance Day will be held on Sunday, April 11. The event will
    feature a concert honoring Holocaust survivors, where several
    outstanding international artists will take part.
