Memorial
to the
Armenian Martyrs
1915

In 1915,
in historic Armenia and Ottoman Turkey,
the genocide of the Armenians took place
under the government of the Ottoman Empire.

Approximately 1.5 million men, woman, and children
tragically lost their ancestral lands, homes, property
- and ultimately their lives -
while forced to march into the deserts and elsewhere
only to find starvation and death.

Through Christian faith and determination,
the remnants of the martyred Armenian nation
survived and prospered.

Today and always
the victims of genocide are remembered here.

Blessed and dedicated
