The Armenian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust Memory: Structural Peculiarities


04.05.2011



On May 4 a public lecture titled “Armenian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust Memory: Structural Peculiarities” by anthropologist Harutyun Marutyan was organized at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute dedicated to the commemoration of Holocaust victims. Dr. Harutyun Marutyan is a Leading Research Fellow at the Department of Contemporary Anthropological Studies at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, and a Visiting Professor of Anthropology at Yerevan State University. In 2009-2010 he was Diane and Howard Wohl Fellow at Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, US Holocaust Memorial Museum (Washington, DC) conducting research for his project "Memory Based on Politics: Comparative Study of Jewish and Armenian Experience."

Dr. Marutyan raised and analyzed the following questions: periodicity of the history of the Armenian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust and frequently given characterizations about their uniqueness and significance, as well as the term “Holocaust”. The speaker discussed the ethnicity of the Genocide perpetrators and the fact of being bearers of a particular ideology. During the lecture Dr. Harutyun Marutyan analyzed the memory of the Genocide: the stereotype “being slaughtered like lambs”. There was a comparison between the Armenian and Jewish memories in terms of becoming a part of the US memory. Dr. Marutyan intends to present the above analyzed questions in a monograph.
