Légion Arménienne: The Armenian Legion and Its Heroism in the Middle East To open at AGBU in Chicago, Summer 2010
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT “Légion Arménienne: The Armenian Legion and Its Heroism in the Middle East” is a traveling exhibit developed and prepared by ALMA in honor of the Legionnaires and their devotion to their nation and to the cause of liberty during World War I. The exhibit explores the formation, training, military action, and postwar activities of this all-volunteer force through photographs and narratives.
The story of the Armenian Legion reflects the community’s attempts to come to grips with the destruction and devastation following the Armenian Genocide. It also represents the successful efforts of Armenians from different social, economic and political backgrounds to work together for a common cause. The Legion encompassed a group of remarkable individuals – some officers, others of no special rank or distinction – who volunteered throughout the Diaspora, overcoming tremendous difficulties in order to serve their people and nation courageously, often at great personal sacrifice. Their lives are well worth remembering.
NATIONWIDE TOUR The exhibit's upcoming appearance at the Armenian General Benevolent Union in Chicago, Illinois will mark the exhibit's sixth stop on its nationwide tour.
"Légion Arménienne" was previously on display in Whitinsville, Massachusetts; Fresno, California; Pasadena, California; Dearborn, Michigan; and Racine, Wisconsin.

ALMA Artifacts at Museum of Jewish Heritage On display Museum of Jewish Heritage through December 2010
The Armenian Library and Museum of America has loaned an Armenian needle lace doily and a pair of small boy's wooden shoes from its Textile Collections to the Museum of Jewish Heritage (Edmond J. Safra Plaza, 36 Battery Place, New York, NY). These two important artifacts are featured in “The Morgenthaus: A Legacy of Service,” an exhibition examining the lives of Robert Morgenthau; Henry Morgenthau, Jr.; and Henry Morgenthau, Sr.
The Armenian needlelace doily comes from ALMA's William Chad Texttile Collection. It was made by orphans from Malatia circa 1900. The shoes were donated by Helen gutterson, an American missionary with the Near East Relief. The shoes belonged to a child, whom Ms. Gutterson buried. The child died of starvation in the desert of Del-El-Zor in 1915.
The exhibition will remain on display through December 2010.
