This year, April 24 was a day of remembrance not only for Armenians but also for Jews. For the first time, Holocaust Remembrance Day—which is a movable date—coincided with Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. This coincidence created an opportunity to reflect on history—on suffering, survival, and the long struggle for justice and recognition.
On May 7, an event was held at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust.
The keynote speakers of the day were Harutyun Marutyan, who presented on the self-defense of Van during the Armenian Genocide, and Suren Manukyan, who spoke about Jewish armed resistance during the Holocaust—specifically the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
