=========================================
What: The Zeytun Gospels "Missing Pages: The Modern Life of a
Medieval Manuscript from Genocide to Justice"
a lecture is given by Prof. Heghnar Zeitlian
When: Feb 24 2019 1pm
Following Church Divine Liturgy which starts at 10:30am
Where: Armenian Apostolic Church of Crescenta Valley
Western Prelacy's Hall, 6252 Honolulu Ave., La Crescenta, CA
Misc: In 2010, the world's wealthiest art institution, the J. Paul
Getty Museum, found itself confronted by a century-old
genocide. The Armenian Church was suing for the return of
eight pages from the Zeytun Gospels, a manuscript illuminated
by the greatest medieval Armenian artist, Toros Roslin.
The Missing Pages is the biography of a manuscript that is at
once art, sacred object, and cultural heritage. Its tale
mirrors the story of its scattered community as Armenians have
struggled to redefine themselves after genocide and in the
absence of a homeland. Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh follows in
the manuscript's footsteps through seven centuries, from
medieval Armenia to the killing fields of 1915 Anatolia, the
refugee camps of Aleppo, Ellis Island, and Soviet Armenia, and
ultimately to a Los Angeles courtroom.
Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh is Professor of Art History at the
University of California, Davis. She is the award-winning
author of The Image of an Ottoman City: Architecture in Aleppo
(2004). Her writing has also appeared in the Huffington Post
and the Los Angeles Times. As a board member of the US
nonprofit Project 2015, she helped organize the historic
Armenian Genocide Centennial Commemorations in Istanbul where
she also delivered a speech in Armenian and Turkish
The event is free to the public.

=========================================
What: International conference 'We Will Live After Babylon'
Armenian and Jewish existential experience between expulsion,
exile and annihilation".
When: Feb 24 2019 9am
Ends on Feb 27
Where: Kulturzentrum Pavillon Hannover, Lister Meile 4, 30161
Hannover, Germany
Misc: Not only were Jews and Armenians compelled for centuries to
become stateless and live outside their homelands, but they
shared another destiny: in the twentieth century, collective
destruction threatened them in the shadow of two world
wars. The European Center for Jewish Music (EZJM) and the
German-Armenian Society (DAG) are using this convergence as the
starting point for a collaborative conference that will focus
on Jewish and Armenian historical experiences through
scientific lectures and a cultural program.
The speakers (amongst others Richard Hovannisian, Michael
C. Stone, Harutyun Marutyan, Dan Diner, Emil Sanamyan,mit Kurt)
represent a variety of disciplines such as theology,
literature, musicology, history, sociology, political science
and cultural studies. The themes of the conference - Diaspora,
Minority Issues, Genocide, Memory and Reception, and Relations
between Jews and Armenians Today - reflect the common dimension
of Armenian and Jewish conditions.
An extensive accompanying program consisting of readings, a
theater performance, concerts, workshops and a panel discussion
aims to familiarize a broader public with the subject. The
concluding podium discussion will discuss the very different
politics of remembrance in dealing with the Holocaust and the
genocide against the Armenians in Germany.
Jointly organized by The` European Center for Jewish Music an
the German-Armenian Society
