Dear Friends of Zoryan,
We have been asked by many of our friends and supporters worldwide to share
our activities on YouTube, so they can have a greater feeling of
participation. In line with our year-end tradition of keeping our supporters
informed, we have chosen this year to transmit some of the highlights of
these activities to our friends via video.
Please click on the pictures or press play to play videos of each event, and
your feedback would be much appreciated.
We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for all the financial and
moral support of our donors and Friends like yourself, without which we
would not be able to serve the Institute's mission. Only with your continued
help can we meet these goals.
Happy holidays from all of us at Zoryan!

The treatment of the Jewish community in Turkey since 1950. was not any
different from all the non-Muslim minorities-Armenians, Greeks and Jews-they
all have faced similar challenges in their relationship with the Turkish
state and society, writes noted scholar Rifat Bali of Turkey. They all had
to deal with issues of language, religion, culture and identity in a
society that demands total conformity, but they responded to the challenges
in different ways. Bali describes how the Jewish community, in particular,
attempted to become "model citizens of the state," in response to this
challenge.

The first Hollywood film on the Armenian Genocide,"Ravished Armenia," was
released in 1919, while the effects of the Genocide were still taking place.
It was shown in several countries, captured the public's imagination, and
was very popular. Aurora Mardiganian, a 17-year-old genocide survivor,
portrayed herself in the film as the lead character, reliving the trauma of
the horrors she had personally experienced. Henry Morgenthau, US Ambassador
to the Ottoman Empire during the time of the genocide, also portrayed
himself. In this video, internationally renowned filmmaker Atom Egoyan and
Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute Hayk Demoyan discuss the
significance of the film and the life of Aurora Mardiganian.
