Thousands of Armenians, Jews and other supporters will gather in Times Square on April 22, to commemorate the first genocide of the 20th century, the Armenian Genocide as well as Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The event will pay tribute to the almost two million Armenians who were massacred by the Young Turk Government of the Ottoman Empire and to the six million Jews who were annihilated by the Nazi regime during World War II.
In anticipation of the 97th anniversary of the tragedy which occurred during World War I, four survivors of the Armenian Genocide, known as Medz Yeghern, remembered their horrific moments of sorrow, pain and survival during a special question and answer session at the New York Armenian Home in Flushing.
