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: .
