LECTURE AT NAASR BY SHAHKEH SETIAN ON "HUMANITY IN THE MIDST OF INHUMANITY"
Dr. Shahkeh Setian will discuss her book Humanity in the
Midst of Inhumanity, which provides stories submitted by sixteen
descendants of survivors who were saved by Muslims during the 1915
Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks, on Thursday, August
9, at 8:00 p.m., at the National Association for Armenian Studies and
Research (NAASR) Center, 395 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA 02478.
Setian graphically presents the vicious treatment of victims
in order to convey the horrors committed by government officials and
out-of-control citizens in order to illustrate that the victims of the
Genocide were not simply numbers but were breathing, living, women, men,
and children.
Some brave Muslims-Turks, Kurds, and Arabs-risked their
lives to save Armenians. Humanity in the Midst of Inhumanity features
many stories of such individuals, as well as missionaries and others who
came to the aid of suffering Armenians. Despite the threat by the
government against such actions, brave individuals acted out of their
humanity. Lives were saved, but a nation was lost.
The daughter of genocide survivors, Dr. Shahkeh Setian is a
graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She has three
children and five grandchildren and lives in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
She lived for a year as an independent volunteer in post-war Nagorno
Karabakh (Artsakh). She has taught at Springfield College,
Massachusetts; Cape Cod Community College; and Artsakh State University;
and has facilitated workshops and presented talks about genocide,
injustice, and values.
