On Sunday, October 21, at 2:00 PM, author Shahkeh Setian will discuss
her book, "Humanity in the Midst of Inhumanity" at the Armenian
Library and Museum of America (ALMA) as part of her New England book
tour. Her book examines the 1915 Armenian Genocide with special
emphasis on Turkish Muslims who saved Armenian lives at the risk of
their own lives and that of their families as threatened by the
Ottoman government to any Muslim who protected Armenians.
She will ask for anyone in the audience who has similar stories to
submit them to her, not to include in a book, but rather to include in
a list of remembrance to be displayed at an appropriate location at a
later date. Dr. Setian earned a Doctorate in Education from UMASS
Amherst. She taught at Springfield College, Artsakh University, and
designed and taught a class at Cape Cod Community College entitled,
"The History of Genocide: Using the Armenian Genocide as a Case
Study".
The Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) is located at 65
Main Street in Watertown, MA. For directions and more information
