COMMEMORATIONS


30th Anniversary Commemorative Dinner
Save the date: Sunday, May 3, 2009, when the Center will celebrate 30 years.

Annual Kristallnacht Commemoration
Each year, the Center marks the anniversary of Kristallnacht. This violent event took place in Germany in 1938 and signaled the impending destruction of the Jewish people that would be known as the Holocaust.

Armenian Remembrance Day
Each year, the Center marks Aremenian Remembrance Day with a community program. Previous years have featured Nora Armani and the Antranig Armenian Dance Ensemble.

This year's program, The Georgetown Boys, was held on Saturday, May 3, 2008, at 8:00 PM. It focused on the touching experience of 100 boys, who after being orphaned during the Armenian Genocide, were relocated to a farm in Georgetown, Canada.
