Virginia Holocaust Museum to develop a permanent exhibit on the
Armenian Genocide
05.01.2012 16:36
The Virginia Holocaust Museum has decided to develop a permanent
exhibit on the Armenian Genocide. The museum hosted a special event in
December to call attention to its temporary Armenian exhibit and spur
donations of suitable artifacts and financial support for the
forthcoming permanent exhibit. The event was organized by the Armenian
Education Center (AEC) of Virginia, the Armenian Mirror-Spectator
reports.
The Virginia Holocaust Museum was founded in 1997 in several rooms of
Temple Beth El but as it grew, in 2000, it was gifted an old tobacco
warehouse by the Virginia State Legislature.
Tim Hensley, the librarian of the museum, spoke about the museum's
plan for a permanent exhibit, titled `The Whole World Failed,' which
will include materials on a variety of 20th- and 21st- century
genocides and the genocide of the American Indians.
The Virginia Holocaust Museum is hosting the Watertown, Mass.-based
Armenian Library and Museum of America's folding panel display, `The
Ongoing Armenian Genocide: Death, Denial and Desecration,' devoted to
the Armenian Genocide and its denial, from November 2011 to July 2012.
It may also be shown at the University of Richmond for several months
after this.
