The Armenian Genocide: One Family's Story

One Family’s Story traces the journey of Arek and Moses Zakarian from the turn of the 20th century during the Ottoman Empire through genocide, survival, migration, and reemergence in the United States. Visitors will engage with the family’s personal photos, memoirs, musical instruments, artifacts, and artwork which serve as a backdrop to the broader history of the Armenian Genocide. One Family's Story is a collaboration between the William Paterson University Galleries, The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and the David and Lorraine Cheng Library. It is made possible by the Zakarian grandchildren, led by Susan Arpajian Jolley and Allan Arpajian.
