The Azgapetians went on a speaking tour across America to raise awareness and funds for Near East Relief in the aftermath of the Genocide. Around the same time the small town of Georgetown in Ottawa was also assisting a group of orphans in the Mediterranean by opening up a government-sponsored cultural school for about 50 boys. Watch as Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian discusses the adventures of one of these boys, and the Museum’s connection to the school.
PLEASE NOTE: Mr. Lind-Sinanian mentions Ottawa, when he meant to say Ontario. Last week we talked about Near East Relief and the Azgapetian Family.
