Armenian Museum of America announces “Share Your Stories“ contest attached to the 105th anniversary of Armenian Genocide

Arminfo, Armenia

ArmInfo. The Armenian Museum of America has made an announcement, which reads:

''April is the month when the Armenian Museum of America, like so  many other Armenian organizations and communities from around the  world, commemorates the Armenian Genocide.  In this, the 105th  anniversary of the start of the Genocide, the Armenian Museum had  planned to open an exhibition and program in remembrance of the  victims of the Genocide, but with the restrictions surrounding  COVID-19 we closed our Museum doors until we can safely welcome back  visitors to our galleries.  To still remember the victims, we decided  to take a different approach this year by reaching out to our  members, supporters and the Armenian community at-large to invite you  to share stories and photos of family who survived the Genocide  and/or contributed to the many relief aid groups that assisted the  survivors. These stories of triumph, survival and strength will not  only allow us to remember the struggles and challenges they endured  but will also show those of us now going through difficult times that  there is hope and promise in the days ahead.  With your permission,  the Museum will then post these stories and photos throughout the  month of April on our Facebook page and on the Museum's website:  .

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
