Rebecca Jinks, the first recipient of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute's Rafael Lemkin Scholarship, has published an article in the American Historical Review. The article titled “Marks Hard to Erase. The Troubled Reclamation of “Absorbed” Armenian Women, 1919–1927”, is dedicated to the tragic fate of Armenian women during the Armenian Genocide. Original sources and photos from the AGMI collections were used in the article.
