The Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) marked the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on April 25, 2021, with a virtual program focusing on the multi-generational history of one Glen Cove family. There were presentations by Ashod & Onelia Spendjian and their sons Aram and Garen, as well as a reading of a first-hand account of the genocide, written by Garen and Aram’s great grandmother, and a virtual visit to the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial in Yerevan, Armenia. An introduction was given by Rev. Fr. Dr. Abraham Malkhasyan, from the Armenian Church of the Holy Martyrs in Bayside.
