There will be a Musical Prelude by pianist Tanya Bartevyan prior to the lecture.


This lecture will outline the genesis of Armenian Genocide Commemoration Day on April 24, the 110th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Beginning with the first official commemoration of Armenian survivors in post-war Istanbul, the lecture will examine both official and unofficial commemoration activities, which will be reconstructed with archival photographs, memoirs, and letters. From the Armenian Genocide Memorial (Tsitsernakaberd) in Yerevan to the efforts to construct the Armenian Genocide Memorial and Holy Martyrs Church in Dayr al-Zur, Semerdjian will offer a history of Armenian memory and ritual activities in the killing fields of the Syrian Desert and beyond.
