Timed with the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the USC Shoah Foundation has unveiled a powerful new IWalk at the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex in Yerevan, Armenia. Developed in close collaboration with the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI), this IWalk offers visitors an immersive and deeply moving journey through one of the most sacred sites of Armenian remembrance. By weaving together survivor testimonies, rare archival photographs, historical maps, and firsthand accounts from witnesses and descendants, the IWalk brings the memorial’s history, symbolism, and emotional resonance vividly to life.

As visitors move through the complex, they engage not only with the architecture and monuments but with the personal stories behind them — stories of loss, endurance, and the unbreakable spirit of a people who survived one of history’s darkest chapters. The inclusion of voices such as Armenian survivor S. Yeznig Boyadjian and Henry Morgenthau III adds depth and humanity, allowing each participant to connect personally with the memory of the 1.5 million martyrs.

This initiative stands as a powerful educational tool that transcends national boundaries, making the Armenian Genocide Memorial accessible to a wider global audience through a modern and emotionally resonant platform. It represents a continued commitment to genocide education, memory preservation, and the universal imperative to confront injustice. By embedding the Armenian experience within a broader human context, the IWalk fosters deeper understanding across generations and reinforces the role of memory as a catalyst for learning, reflection, and moral responsibility.
