Assembly attends annual Days of Remembrance Commemoration
Armenian Assembly Board of Trustees Executive Committee Member Annie
Totah and Executive Director Bryan Ardouny attended the annual Days of
Remembrance Commemoration for victims of the Jewish Holocaust in
Washington, DC last month. The event included a special keynote speech
by Deputy Secretary of State Robert B. Zoellick. Following Zoellick’s
remarks, Totah and Ardouny discussed with him the importance of learning
the lessons of the Holocaust, and the Armenian Genocide, as well as
other instances of man’s inhumanity to man. Under cover of World War I
and II, Armenians and Jews respectively were subjected to genocide.
The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based
nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness of
Armenian issues. It is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization.
