| dc.description.abstract | In 2006 the Armenian General Benevolent Union celebrated its 100" anniversary. Though some books were published on the occasion and the history of the AGBU was written, there is a lot to be done to unearth the full picture of AGBU contribution and input both to the Diaspora and to the Armenian state. By publishing twenty-six letters, Vatche Ghazarian brings to the limelight some aspects of the second and third decades of AGBU history. Due to the dire conditions of the Armenian refugees and Genocide survivors, alongside international philanthropic organizations, AGBU embarked on a project to address their social, hygienic and cultural needs. In 1925 AGBU initiated a support project for the needy remaining Armenian intellectuals who had survived the massacres during the Genocide. The project intended to extend yearly financial allocations both to the families of the massacred intellectuals and to other intellectuals who were facing financial hardships in their newly adopted countries. Along with the sixteen letters that shed light on this project, Ghazarian publishes two letters addressed to the AGBU and written by a literary group called "friends of martyred authors". The group, established in 1925, aimed at publishing the literary works of the massacred authors as a way of disseminating awareness and preserving Armenian heritage among the forthcoming generations. These letters asked for financial support from AGBU to maintain the aims and objectives of the group, and the response was positive. The third bunch of letters deals with repatriation. AGBU was financially involved in the repatriation project that was initiated by the Soviet Armenian authorities Ghazarian publishes seven letters which shed light on some aspects of the ins and cuts of the process including the organization of repatriation, registration of names of families to be repatriated, donations collected, the not-so-smooth cooperation of the representative of the Soviet Armenian authorities with the AGBU officers, and the extensive collaboration of the Soviet Armenian representative with the Hayasdani Oknutian Gomide (Armenia Aid Committee) activists. | |
