Learning through Testimony: Dr. Richard Hovannisian from PHRF
Richard Hovannisian is the preeminent historian of Armenia and the Armenian genocide having authored and edited many books, including the four-volume work, The Republic of Armenia, and is professor emeritus at UCLA. He oversaw the largest oral history project in the Armenian community, which amounted to 800 interviews; all of which were digitized just before the 90th anniversary of the mass killings. Professor Hovannisian discusses his work surrounding the Armenian genocide and the power of survivor testimony – as historical record and legacy in a post-survivor world.
