Wilmington Students Depict Genocide Through Everyday Photos

Dear Wilmington High School: I want to commend your students for their thoughtful and touching project on the Armenian Genocide. I’m filled with great pride to learn so many young high school students have taken on such an important subject, as this is for Armenians. I would also like to take this opportunity, to dedicate and present to them, a copy of a book my late brother, Richard D. Kloian, published. It should pair well with the knowledge they’ve gained from Facing History and Ourselves, which my brother had also closely worked with as well. His book is titled, “The Armenian Genocide – News Accounts from the American Press: 1915-1922”. It’s not a history book, but a RECORD of HISTORY in the making. I like to refer to it as an archive of evidence.

To learn facts about him, his book and work, please visit these four key sites:
