    Holocaust Center presents `Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust'


    The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus
    (www.holocaustcenter.org) will host Dr. Robert Melson as the featured
    speaker for a presentation on the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust
    at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 10. The Holocaust Memorial Center is at
    28123 Orchard Lake Road in Farmington Hills.

    Titled, `Two Survivors' Perspectives: The Armenian Genocide and the
    Holocaust,' Melson explores perpetrators' means and motives, as well
    as survivors' courage and survival during the Armenian Genocide and
    the Holocaust, focusing on the stories of Armenian Bishop Grigoris
    Balakian and the Jewish Mendelsohn family.

    Melson is Professor Emeritus at Purdue University and past president
    of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. His
    publications include `Revolution and Genocide: On the Orgins of the
    Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust.' He also has lectured on ethnic
    conflict and genocide at venues around the world.

    This annual genocide commemoration is presented in cooperation with
    the Voice/Vision Holocaust Survivor Oral History Archive, Cohn-Haddow
    Center for Judaic Studies, and the Armenian Research Center at the
    University of Michigan - Dearborn.

    It is the mission of the Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family
    Campus to remember those who perished and those who survived the
    Holocaust and, in a world increasingly faced with sectarian strife and
    intolerance, to set forth the lessons of Holocaust as a model for
    teaching ethical conduct and responsible decision-making.

    By highlighting those individuals who, in the midst of evil, stood for
    the best, rather than the worst of human nature, the Holocaust
    Memorial Center seeks to contribute to maintaining an open and free
    society.

    The facility is wheelchair accessible and free parking is available at
    both the North and South entrances.
