Community is encouraged to visit Exhibit by April 30th<\/strong><\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES\u2014On Friday March 6, the intrigue and excitement was palpable in the Rotunda of the Los Angeles Public Library where over 300 community members, elected officials and special guests congregated as the Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region\u2019s<\/a> \u201cAmerica We Thank You: An Armenian Tribute to Near East Relief\u201d Committee, in sponsorship with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Los Angeles Councilmember Paul Krekorian and the Los Angeles Public Library, premiered Near East Foundation\u2019s traveling Exhibit, \u201cThey Shall Not Perish: The Story of Near East Relief.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s opening reception honoring the legacy of NER\u2014the United States\u2019 oldest Congressionally-sanctioned non-governmental organization, which for the first time in American history, expressed the collective generosity and humanitarianism of the American people\u2014included remarks from AWTY co-chairs Hermineh Pakhanians and Vanna Kitsinian Esq., Los Angeles Councilmember Paul Krekorian, Los Angeles City Librarian John F. Szabo, and Director and Curator of Near East Relief Historical Society, Molly Sullivan Esq., who traveled from New York to attend the evening\u2019s celebratory premiere.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne hundred years ago, an unprecedented American-led relief effort thwarted the Turkish scheme of completely annihilating the Armenian race, as it brought to the world\u2019s attention the harrowing facts of the brutal slaughter of 1.5 million Armenian men, women and children, the criminal act for which the very word \u2018genocide\u2019 was even coined,\u201d remarked AWTY co-chair, Vanna Kitsinian, Esq. \u201cOur premiere of this compelling Exhibit\u2014which illustrates the historical moment when American and Armenian histories so pivotally intersected\u2014in the nation\u2019s second largest city, home to the largest concentration of Armenian-Americans, is one of the ways we are continuing to spread awareness of Near East Relief\u2019s historical legacy from 1915-1930 as it rescued and rehabilitated the destitute Armenian refugees and impoverished orphans whose livelihood has thus ensured our existence as a thriving Armenian Nation today. After months of collaboration with the Near East Foundation, the successor of Near East Relief, we are proud that Near East Foundation chose us to premiere its traveling Exhibit,\u201d added Kitsinian.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Near East Relief ensured the survival and sustenance of the Armenian people through its network of 400 orphanages, hospitals, clinics, clothing distribution centers, and vocational schools that provided shelter, nourishment, clothing, medical treatment, and a means for our ancestors to build and re-build their lives that were devastated by Genocide,\u201d stated AWTY co-chair Hermineh Pakhanians. \u201cThis heroic feat was funded by the $117 million the Near East Relief raised from concerned citizens in America and throughout the world from 1915-1930, a staggering figure which is equivalent to almost $3 billion today. This story is a testament of how the American people, not just the government or politicians, but average American citizens, changed the course of history, and our committee\u2019s purpose is to acknowledge this American benevolence and generosity,\u201d added Pakhanians.<\/p>\n

Special guests Leslie Diane Coogan Mitchell and Keith Coogan, daughter and grandson respectively, of the most famous American child actor in the 1920\u2019s, Jackie Coogan, were in attendance and received great applause when acknowledged by AWTY co-chairs during the program.<\/p>\n

In 1924, the Near East Relief launched the \u201cChildren\u2019s Crusade,\u201d wherein every school child in the United States was encouraged to participate in collecting donations, clothing and non-perishable food for shipment to children overseas, and the child actor Jackie Coogan, arguably Hollywood\u2019s first humanitarian piloted his \u201cMilk Train\u201d across the United States which made stops in every major U.S. city to collect the cans and cases of milk, boxes and packages of food, and money raised, which totaled over $1 million for shipment overseas. Jackie Coogan\u2019s tour received unprecedented media coverage in the U.S. through newspapers, magazines, and newsreels.<\/p>\n

One of the Exhibit\u2019s panels is dedicated solely to Jackie Coogan and alongside archival photographs, narrates his invaluable contribution to Near East Relief\u2019s fundraising efforts spearheaded by the children of America for the orphaned Armenian children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis extraordinary exhibit will give thousands of Angelenos the opportunity to learn about America\u2019s generous humanitarian support for the Armenian people in our time of great need,\u201d said Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Krekorian. \u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud that the City of Los Angeles provided funding for and co-sponsored the Exhibit, and I look forward to bringing my family and friends to see it. There is no better way to learn about the bond shared by the American and Armenian people as we kick-off our local commemoration of the Armenian Genocide Centennial,\u201d said Krekorian.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Los Angeles Public Library believes in telling and celebrating stories,\u201d said City Librarian John F. Szabo. \u201cWe serve the largest and most diverse population of any in the nation, and we are proud to host this Exhibit and share this heroic story,\u201d added Szabo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Exhibit begins with a story of great sadness, but it grows to encompass stories of unparalleled courage, generosity, and hope,\u201d remarked Director and Curator of Near East Relief Historical Society, Molly Sullivan, Esq. \u201cEach viewer becomes a part of the Exhibit as they learn about this vital historical period, and go on to share this knowledge with their friends and family,\u201d continued Sullivan.<\/p>\n

Ani Boyadjian Boghigian, Principal Librarian of Research & Special Collections, was thanked in the remarks by the AWTY co-chairs and Councilmember Krekorian for being instrumental in facilitating the Exhibit\u2019s premiere at LA Public Library, whose 5,500 daily patrons will have the opportunity to view the Exhibit until April 30, 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the eve of the Armenian Genocide Centennial, as we remember and honor the martyred lives of our 1.5 million ancestors who suffered the perils of forced deportation and tragic death, we also pay special tribute to all those who heard the Armenian pleas for help, and responded swiftly and generously on an unprecedented and almost unimaginable scale. On behalf of every Armenian life Near East Relief rescued, we collectively echo, \u201cAmerica, We Thank You,\u201d remarked ANCA-WR Executive Director Elen Asatryan. \u201cWe highly encourage our Armenian-American community in Southern California to take their family and friends and visit the Los Angeles Public Library\u2019s Central branch from now until April 30 to witness firsthand this exceptional Exhibit in honor of such a magnanimous story,\u201d added Asatryan.<\/p>\n

After the program, guests continued to peruse the impressive Exhibit, with its 28 color panels measuring an impressive six feet by three feet, which is comprised of high-quality scans of official correspondence, biographies of missionaries and relief workers who lived, volunteered and served on the ground, and includes treasured archival photographs, some of which have only recently been accessed, offering new insight to NER\u2019s impactful legacy in saving a people under the threat of total annihilation.<\/p>\n

Also on display were original Near East Relief orphan identification cards belonging to the grandparents of several \u201cAmerica We Thank You\u201d committee members alongside an original Near East Relief service medal. Orphan identification cards would include the orphan\u2019s photo, capture an orphan\u2019s name, his\/her birthplace, birth date, parents\u2019 names if known, the orphanage to which they were assigned, their orphan number, the trade they specialized in and were signed by the orphanage\u2019s director and the local Near East Relief representative. Near East Relief medals recognized and honored the invaluable service of relief workers and volunteers.<\/p>\n

The Near East Relief commissioned leading artists of the day to design impactful posters depicting the suffering and plight of the Armenian victims, which were circulated throughout the United States and the world to raise awareness and inspire the donation of funds for the relief efforts.<\/p>\n

Guests were invited to participate in a silent auction featuring originals of two of these iconic posters printed in 1918.<\/p>\n

Noted during the program was the support of guests in attendance including State Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Zaven Sinanian, Montebello Mayor Jack Hadjinian, Los Angeles Councilmember Mitch O\u2019Farrell, Glendale City Clerk Ardashes Kassakhian, Glendale City Councilmember Ara Najarian, Rolling Hills Estates Councilmember Frank Zerounian, Glendale Community College Board Trustee Dr. Vahe Peroomian, Pasadena Student Trustee of the Pasadena City College Board Marshall Lewis, and the representatives of various religious denominations who were also in attendance, including the Armenian Prelacy, Diocese, Evangelical Church, Presbyterian United Congregational Church, and Catholic Archdiocese and Tustin Presbyterian Church, representative of Great House of Cilicia central executive board and leaders of community organizations including the A.R.F., Armenian Relief Society, Armenian Bar Association, Armenian Missionary Association of America, Organization of Istanbul Armenians, Armenian Educational Foundation, Hamazkayin and Homenetmen.<\/p>\n

Anoush Catering graciously catered hors d\u2019oeuvres, and Remedy Liquor donated wine and refreshments for the evening\u2019s reception, which was open to the public and free of charge.<\/p>\n

Working in coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States and affiliated organizations around the country, the ANCA-WR advances the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad range of issues.<\/p>\n
