"Don't Let Their Voices Be Forgotten" is the message that the USC Institute of Armenian Studies' Leadership Council is sending as it invites a cross section of highly respected community leaders and benefactors to a gala banquet on Apr. 15, in honor of the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for championing the Armenian Genocide Digitization Project, Asbarez.com reports.
The USC Shoah Foundation Institute, established by Steven Spielberg in 1994, has nearly 52,000 video testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust in its Visual History Archive. The Institute is beginning to work with partners around the world to expand its archive with existing and new testimony collections from survivors and witnesses of other genocides. The J. Michael Hagopian/Armenian Film Foundation archive of nearly 400 filmed survivor and eyewitness testimonies will be the first collection in the Armenian Genocide Digitization Project.
