FLORHAM PARK BOROUGH, N.J. (Morris County) — Saint Elizabeth University will host an evening of remembrance honoring victims of the Armenian Genocide later this month, officials said.
The event, titled “An Evening of Remembrance: Honoring the Victims of the Armenian Genocide,” is scheduled for April 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the university’s campus on Convent Road in Morristown. It is free and open to the public.
Organized by the university’s Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education and sponsored by The Dadourian Foundation, the program will bring together community members for reflection, education and cultural presentations.
The evening will commemorate those who died during the 1915 Armenian Genocide while also highlighting Armenian culture through music, food and discussion.
The program will include a discussion with novelist Chris Bohjalian, hosted by Vartan Abdo of the Armenian Radio Hour of New Jersey, along with performances by the Maldjian Family and the Zulal Trio, an a cappella group known for performing traditional Armenian folk music.
“Saint Elizabeth University is committed to education, remembrance, and the responsibility to bear witness to history,” said Dr. Rich Quinlan, Director of the University’s Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education and Chairperson of the History Department. “By bringing together scholarship, storytelling, and cultural expression, we create space not only to honor those who were lost, but to deepen understanding and ensure that these histories continue to be taught and remembered.”
