Location : VCU Meeting Center (located on the corner of Floyd and North Harrison Streets)

Lecture : Ma Grand’mère d’Arménie

Author and actress Anny Romand reads passages in English from her new book Ma Grand’mère d’Arménie, followed by questions and answers.

In 2014, Anny Romand discovered a diary kept by her grandmother, Serpouhi Hovaghian. Written during the 1915 Genocide Death Marches, the journal entries are in Armenian, French and Greek. Serpouhi’s revelations of what she and her family endured, juxtaposed with Anny’s childhood memories of her grandmother, create a powerful, touching and emotional book, My Grandmother from Armenia.
