The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee
PASADENA-In a couple of years, Armenians all over the world will be
commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first genocide of the
20th century when 1.5 million Armenians were massacred. To keep
the memory of 1.5 million Armenians alive, 166 memorial monuments
have been erected in 33 countries worldwide. Those who erected the
monuments want the history to stay alive and the people of the world
to be informed of that barbaric event.
The Armenian community in Pasadena wanted to bring their share in the
commemoration effort. The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee
has planned a very impressive memorial to be constructed in Pasadena
Memorial Park by 2015, with adequate informational inscriptions about
the genocide.
On July 16, 2013, the Recreation and Parks Commission unanimously
approved the proposed design by Catherine Menard, a student at the
Pasadena Art Center College of Design.
The City of Pasadena has scheduled the City Council hearing for
September 9th for the review and approval of the memorial design. The
meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Council Chamber; Pasadena
City Hall, 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249.
Community members are urged to attend the City Council hearing and
show support of the proposed memorial project.
Visit pasagmc.org and the committee's Facebook page to be acquainted
with the Committee members, the details of the project, and information
on upcoming events.
The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee is a 501(c)3
tax-exempt non-profit organization.
