The Armenian Youth Federation, South Bay "Potorig" chapter, educated
the community about the Armenian Genocide by creating an Armenian
Genocide Museum.
More than 100 community members, both Armenian and non-Armenian,
came to observe and learn about the Genocide.
The Museum featured a miniature model of the Genocide Monument in
Armenia, Tsitsernakaberd, in the middle of the room along with three
different exhibits. The first was The Timeline Room, which outlined
important dates leading up to the Genocide, during the Genocide,
and post Genocide.
After observing this room, Cristal Plaint, a student at a local high
school said: "Horrified by how they were treated. How can people be
so cruel and then pretend that this never happened?"
A wall was also dedicated in the room to all the countries that
have already acknowledged and accepted the genocide. The second was
"The Monument Room," which showed and described all the monuments
dedicated to the Armenian Genocide throughout the world. The final
room was "The Artists Room," which included Armenian authors, poets,
singers and song writers, who have expressed their feelings about the
Armenian Genocide. A wall was also dedicated to Genocide survivors
and their stories, Asbarez reports.
