The David Atamian Journals: An Unparalleled Record of the Armenian Genocide
2026-04-24 17:30 - 19:00 | Clark University, Higgins Lounge, Dana Commons – 2nd Floor
Speaker: Dr. Khatchig Mouradian (Lecturer in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies (MESAAS at Columbia University)

Moderator: Dr. Elyse Semerdjian (Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair of Armenian Genocide Studies; Professor, Department of History)

David Atamian (1892, Behesni–1978, Arlington, Virginia) survived the Armenian Genocide and produced an unparalleled multi-volume journal of the early twentieth century. The manuscript spans more than 10,000 pages in thirteen volumes, covering his youth, the genocide, and the postwar period. He recorded arrests, deportation procedures, police corruption, disease, hunger, and daily survival strategies, often in real time. His postwar entries trace conditions and survivor networks across Aintab, Antioch, Birecik, Dörtyol, Iskenderun, Kilis, Marash, Nizip, Musa Dagh, Suruç, Urfa, and Zeytun. The journals are multilingual (Armenian, Armeno-Turkish, Ottoman Turkish, with several dozen later pages in English) and include a wealth of photographs, reports, and verse. Atamian repeatedly reflects on loneliness, uncertainty, and the urgency of writing “while I still live” through events, presenting diary-keeping as an act of resistance and testimony. Donated to the Library of Congress in 1946, the manuscript was described as “perhaps the most significant, certainly the most unusual” acquisition of the year. In this illustrated talk, Dr. Mouradian offers the first scholarly reading of the manuscript, showing how the journals deepen our understanding of the late Ottoman era and shed light on the daily emotional world of deportees.

All Men Are Brothers: Bundist Resistance in Nazi-Occupied Poland

Asher Lecture Series

Speaker: Molly Crabapple, an artist and writer based in New York, is the author of two books, Drawing Blood and Brothers of the Gun (with Marwan Hisham), which was long-listed for a National Book Award. Her reportage is the winner of the Bernhard Labor Journalism Award, and has been published in The New York Times, New York Review of Books, The Paris Review, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and elsewhere. Her animations have won two Emmys and an Edward R. Murrow Award. Her art is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art..

Crabapple’s latest book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund, is now available for preorder.

In the summer of 1939, the Jewish Labor Bund swept Polish municipal elections, cementing their status as the country’s most popular Jewish political party. The Nazis invaded that September. In the charnel house of occupied Poland, the Bund turned its party into an underground network of survival, and defiance. At the same time, they held fast to their ethos of universalist solidarity. As the cover of their illicit newspaper, Voice of Youth, stated, “All men are brothers, whether yellow, black, brown, or white. Talk of peoples, colors, and races is a bunch of nonsense.” Nothing exemplified this belief more than their collaboration with the Polish Socialist Party. But when the Nazis launched their campaign of extermination, these bonds would be put to the ultimate test.

Reception and book signing will follow the lecture.

His other works include two books of nonfiction, My Parents: An Introduction and The Book of My Lives, the novel The Making of Zombie Wars, journalism, screenplays, and content for the Netflix original show Sense8. Born in Sarajevo, Hemon visited Chicago in 1992, intending to stay for a matter of months. While he was there, Sarajevo came under siege, and he was unable to return home. Hemon wrote his first story in English in 1995. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2003 and a “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation in 2004.)

We will remember who did it, and who helped them get it done and we will tell and keep telling, even if no one wants to hear it. What is done, cannot be undone, but can be remembered.
