The Power of Remembrance: Reflections of a Descendant of Genocide

On January 25, 2023, the Armenian Bar Association, The Brandeis Association, and the Hellenic Lawyers Association jointly hosted a program in New York City where the leaders of bench and bar convened to remember, reflect and commemorate the memories of victims of Armenian Genocide, Greek Genocide, and Jewish Holocaust.

Robert H. Tembeckjian, the Administrator and Counsel of the NYS Commission on Judicial Conduct, delivered very moving keynote remarks seen below, which was also published by New York Law Journal here.

Nuné Melik, an internationally acclaimed violinist, performed Armenian, Greek, and Jewish music for the guests. Jonathan Levin photographically documented the event. For the photographs, click here.

Domenick Napoletano, the President Elect of NYS Bar Association, said “I will never forget what Tembeckjian shared with us today. Those memories are not the past; they are our present. We must never forget!”
