    Dr Death's painting on Armenian Genocide most demanded in US museum

    Visitors to the intimate Watertown museum often ask whether it has
    paintings of Jack Kevorkian, known as Dr. Death, Boston.com informs
    quoting The Boston Globe.

    The Armenian Library and Museum of America has a rich collection of
    illuminated manuscripts and a catalog of portrait photographs of some
    of the 20th century's leading figures, but the grisly paintings by Dr.
    Death himself, assisted-suicide advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian, continue
    to be in demand.

    The museum is going to display its Kevorkian paintings, but it has not
    been fixed exactly when. At least one of them, `1915 Genocide 1945,'
    will be displayed next April, when the museum commemorates the
    Armenian Genocide. That painting, which links the killing of 1.5
    million Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish Empire during and after World
    War I, and the 6 million Jews killed by Nazi Germany during World War
    II, was the most important piece for the museum to keep.
