Dear Friend and Colleague ,
You are cordially invited ,
With my warm regards
Apo Torosyan
UPCOMING SPRING 2010 FILM AND LECTURE SERIES BY APO TOROSYAN
Following are Student Reactions from the recent Lecture Series of Apo
Torosyan in February and March 2010 .
*The one difference I felt between you and some of the other authors
and artists I studied was that you focus your work on “hope not
hate.” I find this refreshing and agree wholeheartedly that by
promoting hate against a group of people – for any reason- is a
continuation of a great injustice to humanity.
Thank you again and take care.
*After watching this video, it really opened by eyes to the terrors
that happened in Turkey. I had never heard of this genocide before
and I am extremely grateful for having a deeper understanding of what
happened. I think this film is beautiful and you are a very talented
artist, and brave for taking a stand against the government. It was
beautiful what you said about how the world needs to stop war and
killing and hating each other. You are truly an inspiration! Thank
you so much for coming and educating us.
*This was so beautiful and inspiring. The movie was so moving and
disturbing. What I think is most beautiful is your message, “hope
not hate.” After all of this, after all you have been through, it’s
so amazing that you are able to say that. You have so much courage
and bravery.
Thank you for everything you have done.
*Very inspiring, motivational for me dealing with prejudices/denial
of post-effects of slavery and other forms of discrimination- you
inspire me to be hopeful that we will one day reach the point where
everyone is treated equally.
*The Armenian Council of America (ACA), from the West Coast of the
United States continue promoting “The Morgenthau Story” documentary
by Apo Torosyan to the “Education and Advocacy Initiative” for the
memory and truth of the Armenian Genocide.
*The Morgenthau Story tells the story of Ambassador Henry
Morgenthau’s commitment to helping humanity. From 1913 to 1916, he
served as U.S. Ambassador in Constantinople, and with the beginning
of the Armenian Genocide in the spring of 1915 he appealed without
success to the Ottoman leaders to stop the killings. In 1923,
during the aftermath of the genocide and expulsion of Armenians,
Greeks, and Assyrians, he helped save thousands of lives by
successfully leading the Refugee Relief Committee in Greece.
Filmmaker Apo Torosyan illustrates the story of Henry Morgenthau
Sr. by interviewing three of his descendants: grandsons Henry
Morgenthau III and Robert M. Morgenthau, D.A. and great-
granddaughter Dr. Pamela Steiner.
* Month of April , 2010, “The Morgenthau Story” and ” Voices “
films by Apo Torosyan will show at Lexington TV, Comcast Channel 10.
