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.
