A Firsthand Experience of Family

Sara and her twin sister Beth sitting with their great grandmother Natalie Israelian. This is when Sara learned of her grandmother's Armenian Genocide story, 1993.

As many of these stories are passed down through generations, we can see through the eyes of the ones bringing these stories to share, and discuss how they witnessed personal events in their childhood that have connected them to their Armenian roots.

This collection features photos of Jennie Garabedian, Mari Firkatian, and Sara Anderson with their own family members over the course of their lives. They are able to continue preserving their Armenian identities by learning about these stories from their families, and how it has led them to where they are today. We see how these stories will continue to be passed down to future descendants as well.
