Los Angeles – The Armenian National Committee of America – Western Region (ANCA-WR) and the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles will be hosting a screening of the film, My Mother’s Voice, on Sunday, April 28, 2013.
The screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with the film’s writer, narrator, and co-producer, Kay Mouradian, its director Mark Friedman, and publisher of the California Courier, Harut Sassounian. The discussion will be moderated by the director of the museum, Liebe Geft.
My Mother’s Voice chronicles the story of Flora Munushian, a fourteen-year-old from Hadjin who lost her family in the Armenian Genocide and found her way to America to marry a man she knew only from a photograph.
“Flora’s voice is that of all the victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide, a story that must not be forgotten,” said Ms. Mouradian.
The Museum of Tolerance, the educational arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, is a unique institution that teaches about the bigotry and discrimination that have plagued human history and which continue to this day. The museum’s engaging and interactive approach aims to impress upon visitors the need to feel a personal responsibility in making the world a more peaceful place for everyone.
“There is nothing more powerful than a personal story to bring history to life. We are honored to show “My Mother’s Voice” at the Museum of Tolerance in a special program to commemorate the Armenian genocide,” said Ms. Geft.
