ANCA-WR AND MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE HOST SCREENING OF MY MOTHER’S VOICE

Los Angeles – The Armenian National Committee of America – Western Region
(ANCA-WR) and the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles will be hosting a
screening of the film, My Mother’s Voice, on Sunday, April 28, 2013, at
4:00PM.

The screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with the film’s
writer, narrator, and co-producer, Kay Mouradian, its director Mark
Friedman, and publisher of the California Courier, Harut Sassounian. The
discussion will be moderated by the director of the museum, Liebe Geft.

My Mother’s Voice chronicles the story of Flora Munushian, a
fourteen-year-old from Hadjin who lost her family in the Armenian Genocide
and found her way to America to marry a man she knew only from a photograph.

“Flora’s voice is that of all the victims and survivors of the Armenian
Genocide, a story that must not be forgotten,” said Ms. Mouradian.

The Museum of Tolerance, the educational arm of the Simon Wiesenthal
Center, is a unique institution that teaches about the bigotry and
discrimination that have plagued human history and which continue to this
day. The museum’s engaging and interactive approach aims to impress upon
visitors the need to feel a personal responsibility in making the world a
more peaceful place for everyone.

“There is nothing more powerful than a personal story to bring history to
life. We are honored to show “My Mother’s Voice” at the Museum of Tolerance
in a special program to commemorate the Armenian genocide,” said Ms. Geft.

The special screening was made possible by generous grants by Harry and
Cheryl Nadjarian and Ignatius Foundation Trustees Walter Karabian, Esq.,
George Phillips, Esq., and Michael Amerian, Esq.

The event is free and open to the public but attendees are required to
register online at Free underground parking is
available.

The Museum of Tolerance is located at 9786 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA
90035.

and most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy organization in
the Western United States. Working in coordination with a network of
offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States and
affiliated organizations around the country, the ANCA-WR advances the
