GALA EVENT TO PRESERVE GENOCIDE SURVIVORS' VOICES
Tert.am
23.03.12
The University of South Carolina's (USC) Institute of Armenian
Studies will host on April 15 an annual event aimed at preserving
the recollections of Armenian Genocide survivors.
"Don't Let Their Voices Be Forgotten" is the message of this year's
gala banquet that will honor the USC Shoah Foundation Institute's
efforts to digitalize the stories of genocide survivors.
The J. Michael Hagopian/Armenian Film Foundation archive of nearly
400 filmed survivor and eyewitness testimonies will be the first
collection in the Armenian Genocide Digitization Project, according
to US Armenian Life.
The Foundation was established by Steven Spielberg in 1994. Its
primary mission was to preserve the memories of the Jews who survived
the Holocaust.
The goal of the USC Institute of Armenian Studies' Leadership Council
is to bring together digital copies of all of the collections
of interviews with Armenian Genocide survivors and eyewitnesses,
essentially creating what may become the largest archive of Armenian
Genocide eyewitness interviews.
