(MAHWAH, NJ) – On October 8, 2014, The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies sponsored a panel discussion on the experiences of the children and grandchildren of the women and orphans who were Islamicized during the Armenian Genocide. Today, these individuals are increasingly reasserting their intertwined religious and ethnic identities as Christians and Armenians. The generous support of the Armenian National Committee-New Jersey helped make the program possible. More than 170 students and community members attended the event.
The program, entitled Islamicized Armenian Women and Orphans and the [Re]emergence of Armenian Identities in Turkey A Century after the Armenian Genocide, covered a broad range of perspectives. Through narratives, interviews, photos and personal histories, the panelists developed a framework for what constitutes new Armenian identities in light of the increasing prevalence of Islamicized Armenians reclaiming their former heritage.
The panel members were:
Following the above program that also included a lively Q&A, Professor Stephen Rice, Dean of the Salemeno School of Humanities and Global Studies, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, the President, faculty, staff and students of Ramapo College presented Ms. Dink with a “Commendation for Rakel and Hrant Dink (posthumous) for Outstanding Devotion to Human rights and Social Justice.” This presentation capped what was a very moving and highly informative evening.
