One hundred years ago, the historical persecution of Armenian
Christians by Ottoman Turks culminated in the first holocaust of the
twentieth century. During nearly a decade of execution, deportation,
kidnap, and rape, over two million Armenian, Assyrian and Greek lives
were lost. The victors confiscated and looted vast properties. They
destroyed churches and Islamicized orphans. The descendants of
survivors can be found around the world today. Some have only recently
discovered their Armenian origins. A small group of brave Turks have
called for an admission of these crimes against humanity. Without a
just resolution, the Armenian Genocide will haunt generations to come.
2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Speakers
will discuss Turkey's role in world politics, hidden Armenians in
Turkey, and unresolved issues such as property confiscation and
restitution. The French documentary Turkey, the Legacy of Silence
will debut on the East Coast at this event.
