Product Information

In 1926 New Britain, Armenian immigrants gathered to consecrate the first Armenian church in Connecticut, coming together to celebrate their future in the New World and put their tragic past behind them. Victims of the first genocide of the 20th century, Armenians came to the Hardware City in great numbers during the 1920s. It was there they found work, freedom, and safety. Most were orphaned children or members of families separated by geography. Their first order of business was to establish a church, historically the center of Armenian society. As their numbers grew, they thrived. At its peak, the Armenian community boasted drama, choral, dance, and sports groups. They became Americans, serving their new country in war and in peace, but never forgot their roots. New Britain's Armenian Community documents their journey from terror and dislocation to security and freedom.

Title: The little-known holocaust Armenian Author: Shawn R. Dagle Publisher: The Middletown Press Date: 12/18/2008 In the stern faces of a black-and-white photo, a story of redemption is told. For many of the Armenian immigrants who found refuge in America after World War I, New Britain became a beacon of light -- a place to rebuild their tattered lives and broken families. Using more than 200 photographs from New Britain's past, Farmington author Jennie Garabedian has pieced together the story of the Hardware City's Armenian immigrants in her newly released book, "New Britain's Armenian Community" (Arcadia Books, $19.99). From its birth pangs in the early 20th century to the height of its confluence in the mid-1930s, the story of that community is indeed the story of Garabedian's own family. Nearly destroyed by the Armenian genocide, this singular event in the history of the Armenian people shaped her family's destiny and -- as it did for many other Armenian families -- drove her parents to move to America. Even years after their departure from their homeland, the subject of their long-lost home remained a sore one for her parents. Whenever the old country was mentioned by family or friends, Garabedian's mother would break into tears. Despite the sensitive nature of her parent's past, Garabedian has been able to trace the outline of her own family's story, beginning with her father's departure from Armenia before the outbreak of genocide in 1915 -- leaving behind her mother, 2-year-old brother and 6-month-old sister. Her father was hoping to earn enough money to purchase a farm back in Armenia. A tragic turn of events doomed any such plans. In April 1915, the government of the Ottoman Empire began their organized persecution of the Armenian Christians, a minority in what is now modern-day Turkey. Considered second-class citizens, the Armenians -- previously forced to pay special taxes and not allowed to participate in local government -- were resettled outside of the country. During these forced deportations, mass killings and other atrocities were committed by the Ottoman Turks to eliminate the Armenian population. Forced to leave in large convoys, the Armenian refugees were made to walk long distances, their property was seized, and they were not provided with food. Gangs were organized by the government to attack the convoys and kill women and children. Children not killed were often abducted and forced to work in Turkish and Muslim homes. According to the Armenian National Institute, it is estimated that as many as 1.5 million Armenians died during the genocide, which lasted until 1923. Between 1915 and 1918 alone, it is estimated at least 1 million Armenians died. Those who didn't fled to refugee camps in northern Syria, including Garabedian's mother, brother and sister. "I really don't know how my mother survived. She hid in villages, in people's houses. I really don't know more than that," Garabedian says. Her father eventually located her mother and siblings in a Syrian refugee camp and brought them to the United States. Survivors of the genocide left Syria and Turkey and traveled to more than 24 countries. In Connecticut, a large number of Armenian immigrants moved to New Britain, lured by the large number of manufacturing jobs and the already existing Armenian community in the city. Immigration by Armenians to New Britain reached its zenith between 1922 and 1935, followed by another wave after World War II. "They lived in (close) proximity to each other in a little neighborhood -- I guess you could call it a ghetto -- in two- to three-family houses. It was a tight-knit community," Garabedian says. Her own father worked for a local manufacturer l
