BOSTON VENUE NEW YORK
In this special presentation, Ara Sarafian (director of the Gomidas Institute) will discuss the Institute’s work from Istanbul to Kharpert and the Lake Van basin. He will argue that there are new opportunities to put our academic knowledge to good use inside Turkey. His presentation will include a short film from the Kharpert region. Sarafian will also make a special presentation on the work of Vahram Dadrian, a child survivor of the Genocide, who bore witness to the calamities of 1915-1919. Vahram kept a diary during this period and in 1919 wrote a historical novel about the Genocide. However, he was not able to publish these works for several decades, until 1945, when he had moved to the United States. Both works were published in Armenian by Gotchnag Press in New York. Now, with the translation of these works into English, we are able to discuss the significance of Dadrian’s testimony on the Armenian Genocide for the benefit of English speaking audiences. According to Sarafian, Vahram’s two works are of immense value for our understanding of the events of 1915. This lecture is dedicated to the upcoming 60th anniversary of Vahram Dadrian’s death in 1948. Ara Sarafian is the director of the Gomidas Institute, London. He is a specialist of late Ottoman and modern Armenian history. He is also the general editor of Gomidas institute books.
