USF Libraries, Florida Holocaust Museum, and St. Hagop Armenian Church
Present Armenian History Events in April
Despite the
success,
fame, and
occasional notoriety of
Armenians worldwide, not a lot is understood about Armenian
history. An upcoming talk at the USF Libraries Holocaust & Genocide
Studies Center aims to change that.
Scholar Dr. Garabet Moumdjian will speak in the USF Tampa
Library's Grace Allen
Room Thursday, April 23rd at 2:00 PM (4th floor). Entitled `Rising
>From the Ashes of Tragedy:
Armenia's Triumph Over It's Genocide,' his talk will present an
overview of Armenian civilization, their advanced feudal system that
predated Europe's, and the many waves of foreign invasion that
followed.
Hear the story of how the Armenian people and their 5,000 year-old
culture survived a genocide and went on to form communities of highly
successful professionals worldwide. Both experts and novices will
learn something new in this talk by authoritative Armenian and Middle
East studies scholar Moumdjian. Following the talk, hear from a panel
of Armenian students on their personal and family experiences with
this period in history.
The event at the USF Tampa Library is one of a series in April which
memorialize the Armenian genocide and spread awareness of Armenian
contributions:
* A special screening of `Orphans of the Genocide' and director Q&A
takes place on Thursday, April 9th, at 7:00 PM, at St. Petersburg's
Florida Holocaust Museum (FHM). The Museum presents director Bared
Maronian's acclaimed film, followed by a question and answer
session. The program is part of the FHM's Genocide and Human Rights
Awareness Movement, and is presented in partnership with the USF
Libraries Holocaust & Genocide Studies
Center and St. Hagop Armenian Church.
* Staying in? WEDU+ (PBS) will air `Orphans of the Genocide' and

A complete list of the `Armenian 100' events take place throughout
April. Get the list at: bit.ly/armenian100
THE EVENTS ABOVE ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. The USF Libraries
Holocaust & Genocide Studies Center is proud to partner with the
Florida Holocaust Museum and St. Hagop Armenian Church of the Gulf
Coast of Florida in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the
start of the Armenian Genocide. Events at all three locations, as well
as films on WEDU+, increase awareness and remembrance of the horrors
perpetrated in the first genocide of the modern era. The government of
Armenia has chosen the forget-me-not flower to symbolize aspects of
the genocide, the resulting diaspora, and hope for the future.
