Armenians Came to SF to Escape Genocide. Now, Fears of That History Are Resurfacing
Published 5 years, 2 months ago
Description
Generations of Armenians and descendants of those who escaped the Armenian Genocide have found refuge in San Francisco. That’s the epicenter of a robust church community center and where Armenian Americans can celebrate their culture, history and heritage. It’s also where a recent spate of suspected hate crimes are raising fears about the current border conflict — and painful memories of violence.
Guest: Nastia Voynovskaya, KQED Arts and Culture editor and reporter
