Description:
When the Khmer Rouge seized Cambodia in 1975, Channy Chhi Laux was thirteen years old. For the next four years she endured starvation, forced labor, disease, and tremendous lost. In June 1979, she arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska as a Cambodian refugee and enrolled at Lincoln High School. Despite speaking no English and having not attended school for four years, she managed to achieve academic success, thanks in part to the kindness and support of her teachers. She went on to earn a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from Santa Clara University and undergraduate degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She then spent 30 years working in Silicon Valley as an engineer in the Aerospace and Biotech industries. She is now an award-winning author and chef. Join us for an intimate talk with Channy to learn more about surviving genocide and the importance of compassion.

Then, in the summer of 1941, German authorities invaded and began targeting Jews in Ruth’s hometown in Poland. During one round up by the Nazis in 1942, Ruth hid with her mother in a barrel used to store feed for horses. “We covered ourselves, and we didn’t breathe. … We heard them marching back and forth, back and forth.”
Watch to learn how Ruth continued to outrun danger for nearly two more years, and discover if she ever saw the rest of their family again.

The USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive contains over 1,300 testimonies and a variety of resources related to the Armenian Genocide experience. These resources encourage student reflection on the human impact of the events.In this webinar, Sedda Antekelian, Senior Learning and Development will present testimony-based activities to teach about this history to further contextualize the Echoes & Reflections Unit 12 on Teaching About Genocide.

Description:
During this virtual program, experts will discuss Azerbaijan’s brutal attack on Artsakh and how the ethnic cleansing of its Armenian population in September 2023 resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
Our distinguished panel includes:
Armine Mosiyan
Born and raised in Artsakh, Armine was four when she lost her father, Meruzhan Mosiyan, in the first Artsakh Liberation War. After high school, she attended Yerevan State University in Armenia’s capital, where she received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in international relations. After graduation, Armine moved back to her hometown of Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh, where she worked at the Office of the President of the Republic of Artsakh. In 2016, Armine spent a semester in the U.S. within the framework of the Tavitian Scholars Program in Public Policy and Public Administration at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
Despite her young age of 34, Armine has seen four wars, survived a nine-month-long blockade, and witnessed an ethnic cleansing, the result of which was that she and her family were forcibly displaced from, in her own words, “her happy paradise.” Armine is currently based in Yerevan with her husband and three sons. She is certain that—against all odds—one day they will return home.
Dr. Kim Hekimian
Dr. Kim Hekimian is an Associate Professor of Nutrition in Pediatrics (Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition) and the Institute of Human Nutrition (IHN) at Columbia University Medical Center. She is the Director of the IHN’s Master of Science in Nutrition program. She is also the Associate Director of Education for the Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons (VP&S) Program in Education in Global and Population Health.
In spring 2020, Dr. Hekimian co-organized a Public Health Working Group for Armenia during the time of COVID-19. This group of epidemiologists, biostatisticians, public health policymakers and risk communication experts from academic centers around the globe supports efforts of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia in health system strengthening activities.
Currently, Dr. Hekimian is an advisor to the Minister of Health of Armenia. Her work focuses on developing nutrition policies and programs as well as perinatal care reforms to improve maternal mortality, cesarean deliveries, and postpartum care practices to promote exclusive breastfeeding.
Dr. Khatchig Mouradian
Dr. Khatchig Mouradian is a lecturer in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies (MESAAS) at Columbia University and the Armenian and Georgian Area Specialist in the African and Middle Eastern Division at the Library of Congress. He also serves as Co-Principal Investigator of the project on Armenian Genocide Denial at the Global Institute for Advanced Study, New York University.
Mouradian is the author of the award-winning book The Resistance Network: The Armenian Genocide and Humanitarianism in Ottoman Syria, 1915-1918 (2021). He is also the co-editor of After the Ottomans: Genocide’s Long Shadow and Armenian Resilience (2023) and The I.B.Tauris Handbook of the Late Ottoman Empire: History and Legacy (forthcoming in 2024).
