An Australian Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies'(AIHGS)
photo exhibition was organized in Canberra’s Parliament House last
week. The exhibition was attended by key parliamentarians from both
sides of the political spectrum.
The photos of the Armenian Relief Fund of Australia were uncovered
by the AIHGS from various Australian archive sources, and represent
the efforts of the Australian public who, from 1915-1929, provided
humanitarian assistance to victims of the Armenian Genocide.
Dr. Panayiotis Diamadis and Mr. Vicken Babkenian of the Australian
Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies were present at the
exhibition.
The event was organized by the Armenian National Committe of Australia
and the Australia-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group.
