m_firkatian_refugee_camp_original_002a.jpg

This exhibit highlights the descendants of Armenian survivors of the Armenian Genocide. After many years, the descendants of Armenian survivors take pride in their roots and continue to pass down their family stories, oral testimonies, and artifacts. This exhibit is composed around the gathering of archival materials from the Armenian Community Archive which is part of the UConn's Armenian Memory Project. Sara Anderson, Jennie Garabedian, Mari Firkatian, and Diana Colpitts have provided the archival material for this exhibit in hopes to spread awareness of the Armenian Genocide.
