"Palestine never existed (and never will!) — Hebron settler’s sign

So you and I, Lisa, are holograms. — Nevart Kankashian

In the universe of our dispossession, we scatter:

shimmering holograms, phantasms dispersed

to light, dismissed as mirages by the image makers—

though in the universe of our living, alive in our flesh,

we wake Palestinian, breathe Palestinian, sleep

and dream Palestine, touch Palestine to the foreheads

of our children, die Palestinian. Beneath my father’s tombstone

in far America, his bones lie in exile, light-years from home.

But his grave holds only an echo. His spirit, that nebula

of longing, has broken free from the soil that closed above him,

has traveled to the source, splintered soul drinking deep.

One day the laser beams of denial will falter. Till then

we hover, holograms of history: haunted, haunting."

As you study the stars take heart, go on. The law of life stays the same... human beings can't understand each other.

April 24 1915 - Darker colours signify where Armenians used to live, red signifies Armenian “resettlement” area; which where forced death marches.

Translations of Siamanto's The Dance into English and Spanish

The Dance by Siamanto (Atom Yarjanian 1878-1915). In a field of cinders where Armenian life was still dying, a German woman, trying not to cry told me the horror she witnessed:

"This thing I'm telling you about, I saw with my own eyes, Behind my window of hell I clenched my teeth and watched the town of Bardez turn into a heap of ashes. The corpses were piled high as trees, and from the springs, from the streams and the road, the blood was a stubborn murmur, and still calls revenge in my ear. Don't be afraid; I must tell you what I saw. so people will understand the crimes men do to men. For two days, by the road to the graveyard … Let the hearts of the world understand, It was Sunday morning, the first useless Sunday dawning on the corpses. From dawn to dusk I had been in my room with a stabbed woman — my tears wetting her death — when I heard from afar a dark crowd standing in a vineyard lashing twenty brides and singing filthy songs. Leaving the half-dead girl on the straw mattress, I went to the balcony of my window and the crowd seemed to thicken like a clump of trees An animal of a man shouted, "You must dance, dance when our drum beats." With fury whips cracked on the flesh of these women. Hand in hand the brides began their circle dance. Now, I envied my wounded neighbor because with a calm snore she cursed the universe and gave up her soul to the stars … "Dance," they raved, "dance till you die, infidel beauties With your flapping tits, dance! Smile for us. You're abandoned now, you're naked slaves, so dance like a bunch of fuckin' sluts. We're hot for your dead bodies." Twenty graceful brides collapsed. "Get up," the crowed screamed, brandishing their swords. Then someone brought a jug of kerosene. Human justice, I spit in your face. The brides were anointed. "Dance," they thundered — "here's a fragrance you can't get in Arabia." With a torch, they set the naked brides on fire. And the charred bodies rolled and tumbled to their deaths … I slammed my shutters, sat down next to my dead girl and asked: "How can I dig out my eyes?" Siamanto, Bloody News from My Friend, Wayne State University, 1996.  Translated by Peter Balakian and Nevart Yaghlian ][][

"El Baile"

En un campo de cenizas donde la vida armenia seguia muriendo, una alemana, tratando de no llorar, me narro el horror que atestiguo: “Esto que te cuento lo vi con mis propios ojos. Tras mi ventana infernal aprete los dientes y vi el pueblo de Bardez ser reducido a un monton de cenizas. Los cadaveres se alzaban en pilas tan altas como un arbol y, de los manantiales, de las corrientes y de los caminos, la sangre emitia un terco murmullo que aun clama venganza en mis oidos. No temas; debo contarte lo que vi para que la gente conozca los crimenes que el hombre inflige al hombre. Durante dos dias, junto al camino al cementerio. Que los corazones del mundo comprendan! Era una manana de domingo, del primer domingo inutil que amanecia sobre los cadaveres. Del crepusculo al ocaso habia estado en mi habitacion con una mujer apunalada -su muerte humedecida por mis lagrimas- cuando escuche a lo lejos, parada en un vinedo, a una turba oscura que azotaba a veinte virgenes y entonaba cantos inmundos. Deje a la chica medio muerta en el colchon de paja y sali al balcon de mi ventana. La turba parecia crecer como una mata. Un animal humano grito “ Debeis Danzar, danzar al son de nuestro tambor!” Con furia chasquearon los latigos sobre las carnes de estas mujeres. Tomadas de la mano, las virgenes comenzaron su danza circular. Envidiaba ahora a mi vecina herida quien, con un calmo ronquido, maldecia al universo y entregaba su alma a las estrellas... “¡Bailen!, clamaban “¡Bailen hata la muerte, bellezas infieles! ¡Bailen con vuestras tetas batientes! ¡¡Sonreidnos!! ¡Estais perdidas! ¡Sois esclavas desnudas! ¡Bailen, pues, como un racimo de miserables putas! ¡Vuestros cuerpos muertos nos ponen calientes!” Veinte agraciadas virgenes se desplomaron. “¡Levantaos!”, gritaba la turba blandiendo sus espadas. Alguien trajo entonces un jarro de keroseno. Justicia humana, escupo tu faz. Los virgenes fueron ungidas. “¡Bailen!, rugieron: “¡He aqui una fragancia que no se encuentra en Arabia!” Con una antorcha prendieron fuego a los cuerpos desnudos y los cuerpos calcinados rodaron hasta alcanzar la muerte... Cerre mi ventana, me sente junto a mi muerta y pregunte: “¿Como puedo arrancarme los ojos?

Armenian Museum of America Launches Fourth Virtual Series with Focus on Early Recordings

Armenian Museum of America Launches Fourth Virtual Series with Focus on Early Recordings

WATERTOWN—The Armenian Museum of America in Watertown, MA, has launched its fourth online program called the Sound Archive, which is featured on its website and social media pages every month. The debut offering presents the full catalog of Mardiros Der Sarkis Tashjian and his brothers for the first time and is considered to be the earliest known Armenian sound recordings produced in the United States in the early 20th century.

To kick off the launch of the Sound Archive, the Armenian Museum is hosting its first-ever webinar with music researcher and collector Harout Arakelian on Thursday, April 1 at 4:30 p.m. This online Zoom event is free and registration is required via Eventbrite.

The content of the Sound Archive is supplemented with vintage images from the collection of Project SAVE Armenian Photograph Archives, and their archivists have worked closely with volunteers from the Armenian Museum to create this original multi-media content.

“The music collection of the Armenian Museum is extensive, comprising of more than 3,000 records donated by members over the past 50 years,” noted Executive Director Jason Sohigian. “Volunteer Jesse Kenas-Collins has been digitizing and cleaning up the sound on these old recordings, some of which date back to the beginning of Armenian music in America. We are excited to preview this work online in an event with Harout Arakelian.”

Arakelian worked with Kenas-Collins, Harry Kezelian, and other researchers to document the stories behind some of these recordings, and the Museum has begun posting these online, starting with the Tashjian Brothers. Arakelian will present some of this material during the webinar, including songs that have been restored. Some of the artists will include the Tashjian Brothers, Karekin Proodian, Armenag Shah-Mouradian, Torcom Bezazian, and Nevart Dzeron Koshkarian.

“Harout has done similar events live at Abril Bookstore in Glendale,” added Sohigian, “and these were hugely popular. So we are excited to host this public event on Zoom. We are sure it will be of interest for our members, fans of Armenian music, and collectors who have taken a renewed interest in these early recordings that were being lost to time.”

“This introduction to the first Armenian recordings in America will highlight music in the Armenian Museum’s holdings and I will use the Tashjian story as the vehicle to discuss other musicians and recordings of the 1910s,” explained Arakelian. “All audio files to be played will be from the Armenian Museum of America’s archive, and we will explore these long-forgotten tunes and hear stories about the creators of culture.”

Like most cultural institutions, the Armenian Museum quickly made the shift to virtual programming such as this over the past year. While galleries had to remain closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, members and families began participating in online events.

These programs have been growing at the Armenian Museum and now include an Online Concert Series sponsored by the Dadourian Foundation and a monthly Virtual Exhibition highlighting objects from its collection. In addition to the new Sound Archive, the Museum has been featuring a weekly ‘’Show and Tell’’ video hosted by Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian, where he shares informative and often amusing stories about objects in the collection. This popular video series is sponsored by Michele Kolligian, President of the Museum’s Board of Trustees.

“Since we have not been able to open the Museum galleries to the public, or present live events such as lectures, book talks, and concerts, our team has done a wonderful job curating virtual offerings to keep people connected during the time the Museum has been closed,” concluded Sohigian. “While we look forward to reopening in the second half of the year, we will continue posting online content so our members across the country and internationally can remain engaged and enjoy learning about our vast collection, and beyond.”

A l’époque biblique, voir naître et grandir ses petits-enfants était considéré comme un signe de bénédiction.

« C'est aussi pour que tu racontes à tes enfants et petits-enfants comment je suis intervenu contre les Egyptiens et quels signes miraculeux j'ai fait éclater au milieu d'eux. » Exode 10. 2

De nos jours, avec le rallongement de la vie, nous prenons cela pour acquis. Mais les jeunes retraités, au milieu de leurs nouvelles activités, estiment-ils, à leur juste valeur, le privilège d’être grands-parents et les responsabilités qui lui sont attenantes ?

Nous avons, dans la Bible, deux exemples de grands-mères qui ont joué un rôle primordial dans la vie de leur petit-fils :

Noémi éleva Obed,  qui devint plus tard le grand-père du roi David, un « homme selon le cœur de Dieu » Ruth 4. 16.

Loïs, avec sa fille, a transmis la foi à Timothée, le compagnon inséparable de l’apôtre Paul.

« Je garde le souvenir de ta foi sincère, cette foi qui se trouvait déjà chez ta grand-mère Loïs et ta mère Eunice. A présent, elle habite aussi en toi. »2 Timothée 1. 5

Personnellement j’ai été marquée par ma grand-mère Nevarte. Elle avait fui le génocide arménien de 1915. Elle fut touchée par la grâce à l’orphelinat.

Malgré son enfance traumatisante, elle avait toujours les yeux pétillants de joie et une affection débordante. Elle aurait pu devenir amère, égoïste, mais sa maison était ouverte à tous et sa table pleine des bonnes spécialités de son peuple.

Sa foi en Dieu était le carburant de sa joie. Je la revois assise à la table de la cuisine, la Bible ouverte et son âme en prière. Mon père a hérité de sa foi et moi j’ai hérité de celle de ma grand-mère et de mon père.

Sans le savoir, elle faisait de moi une disciple de Jésus. A mon tour, après avoir élevé nos six enfants, je prends très au sérieux mon ministère de grand-mère : lire des histoires, jouer au tracteur, aux playmobils mais aussi parler de Jésus, des « signes miraculeux » qu’il a opéré dans notre famille…

La retraite ce n’est pas seulement les mots croisés, le club de country ou les films sur M6 ! Le Seigneur nous appelle en mission. En fait, il s’agit de trans-mission. La transmission de la foi. Finalement, cet appel s’adresse à tous.

Voici quelques tirets supplémentaires à la to-do list

Discerner quels sont ces « Timothée » vers qui le Seigneur m’envoie 

M’engager à prier pour ces personnes 

Chercher la direction de l’Esprit pour savoir comment leur partager ma foi et faire d’elles des disciples

Armenian woman, with veils darkening you like death. You, young man with native anguish running down your face, walk down the roads without rage or hate and exclaim: what a bright day, what a sarcastic grave-digger… what a mob, what dances, what joy and what feasts everywhere. … Our red shrouds are victory flags.  The bones of our pure brothers are flutes… with them others are making strange music. But don't shudder, unknown sister or brother of fate. As you study the stars take heart, go on. The law of life stays the same… human beings can't understand each other.
