The Berekian family archive includes letters, postcards, diaries, photographs, and books, which belonged to Kacher Berekian and Nevarte Berekian Nahabedian, survivors of the 1915 Armenian Genocide. Kacher Berekian was born in Hajin and Nevarte Berekian Nahabedian in Constantinople. Orphaned during the massacres they arrived to the US and were raised by strangers who became family. Their grandchildren, Gale, Annie, Nancy, and Beverly, will donate their family history preserved in these documents for preservation of their family’s legacy.
Please, join us for the ceremony and celebration of this wonderful donation!
RSVP @ kristineolsh@ucla.edu by Wednesday, March 9.
