FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO FEATURE HISTORY EXHIBITION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present its newest exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide during World War I. The exhibition will be open April 19, 2008 through October 19, 2008. The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO FEATURE HISTORY EXHIBITION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present its newest exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide during World War I. The exhibition will be open April 19, 2008 through October 19, 2008. The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO FEATURE HISTORY EXHIBITION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present its newest exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide during World War I. The exhibition will be open April 19, 2008 through October 19, 2008. The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.

WORKS OF INTERNATIONAL ARTIST MARC ASH NOW ON DISPLAY
Contemporary Art Project Serves as Reminder for All Future Generations
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to be the premier United States museum to exhibit Tous Ensemble by Marc Ash. In this exhibition of mixed media paintings, photographs, sculpture and installation, Ash pays homage to the races, cultures, religions, peoples and artists who are victims of intolerance and extremist ideology. The mission of this project is to leave an artistic work that will bear witness to an unforgettable story for all future generations. Ash will be on hand at FHM for an artist talk on May 8, 2008 at 7pm. The event is open to the public, general admission $10 and free for museum members. Refreshments will be served, please call (727) 820-0100 ext. 234 to reserve your space.
Ash's art is classified by some art critics as "neo-materialism." He gives everyday objects a new material implementation so that they acquire a new meaning and quality. The surface of Ash's works "speaks" for itself and for the artist, as something tangible, raw and coarse. The objects in his artworks are replicas and create a pictorial representation of events during the Holocaust. On the surface, the work presented may appear provocative, violent - even unbearable. Actually, it condemns and denounces the committed atrocities of the Holocaust and warns that totalitarian regimes and men convinced by terror still exist.
"You can take this art anywhere in the world where people suffer and they will recognize themselves in it" Ash said.
Ash began painting in 1968 with the desert as one of the focal points of his work. He obtained a diploma in strategic marketing studies, and started his international career.
In 1978, he moved to London but continued to paint intensively. In 1979, Ash exhibited at the Centre Culturel Français in London.
In 1981, he left Great Britain and joined a major Brazilian oil corporation. His journeys to Mauritania and Asia were of decisive importance for his creativity. Since then, he has been traveling the imaginary territory of his childhood life. In 1998, he hung up his suit and tie to paint and rust the metals he uses in his creations.
In October 2000, France 2 covered the "Salon d'Automne" and Ash reached an agreement with Lamay Fine Arts, which escalated his popularity in Brazil and the Middle East. Since then he has been exhibited worldwide at such places as the Palazzo Réale Milan, the Venice Bienale, the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, the International Art Center of Toronto and the Remy Toledo Gallery in New York.
Tous Ensemble runs through May 25th. For more information, please contact Andrea Moore at (727) 820-0100 ext. 232.
