Must-See Exhibit on Near East Relief at Genocide Centennial in DC
A fascinating exhibition entitled, “They Shall Not Perish: The Story of the Near East Relief,” at the Marriott Marquis Hotel will be one of the not-to-miss events taking place during the three-day Genocide Centennial in Washington, D.C., from May 7-9.
This traveling exhibition with 27 panels has already been displayed in Los Angeles and Boston, and will feature the origins and dedicated work of the Near East Relief in aiding 1 million refugees during and after World War I, 80 percent of which were Armenians, with the rest being Greeks, Assyrians, and other minorities.

Thank you for this wonderful article! The Near East Foundation is thrilled to be participating in the commemoration events in Washington, D.C. in May. We will be offering guided tours of the exhibition and Q&A sessions with the curator. We hope to see you there.
Will this exhibit be coming to greater-Detroit? My grandmother, as a survivor of the Genocide along with her 2 sons, worked for 5 years in the orphanages of NER, first in Marsovan then in Athens.
Morgenthau’s Genes
Continue Seeding Humanity
Morgenthau’s* phrases are still alive ~
Will remain alive
Like any mastermind poet, who felt with pains of every race.
Those mercilessly slayed, without rationale, betraying them,
Those build artfully Ottoman’s glory.
Morgenthau’s name can never vanish
By illiterate criminal hands, as they will remain illiterates,
Their stolen alphabet first from Arabic Holy Qur’an
Later from ancient respectful Latin
Would never be easy teaching them.
A race that lost even minute feelings
Slaying without regrets.
However Morgenthau’s cohorts are still feeling
With their grandfather’s internal sufferings
As if his soul is still alive in spite of almost a century elapsed.
Rehearsing his book, that was written with injured hands.
Inherited genes of a real man are born to serve humanity
Such genes will continue to race
To abolish inhumanitarian savageness
That birthed in creatures, which are born barbarous.
Those should not breathe with any humanitarian race.
Those, who still pursue spreading venomous phrases,
And still try slaying sufferers’ vocal cords and pens;
Infuriating bribing trustful races, want to live in peace
With every religion with their prayers and grace.
“Let us praise for those who helped and still are helping us.
And neglect whoever intentionally wants to abolish
Memories of our slaughtered orphans.
Morgenthau and Lemkin were born of Jewish DNA
Without theirs published books,
We might never prove our Genocide.
In spite of many conscientious authors like them
Still some faithless beings raise, and endless doubts!
