More than 100 community members, both Armenian and non-Armenian, came to observe and learn about the Genocide. The Museum featured a miniature model of the Genocide Monument in Armenia, Tsitsernakaberd, in the middle of the room along with three different exhibits. The first was The Timeline Room, which outlined important dates leading up to the Genocide, during the Genocide, and post Genocide. After observing this room, Cristal Plaint, a student at a local high school said: “Horrified by how they were treated. How can people be so cruel and then pretend that this never happened?” A wall was also dedicated in the room to all the countries that have already acknowledged and accepted the genocide. The second was “The Monument Room,” which showed and described all the monuments dedicated to the Armenian Genocide throughout the world. The final room was “The Artists Room,” which included Armenian authors, poets, singers and song writers, who have expressed their feelings about the Armenian Genocide. A wall was also dedicated to Genocide survivors and their stories, Asbarez reports.
