(MAHWAH, NJ) – Michael Bobelian, an acclaimed author, will speak at Ramapo College of New Jersey in October under the auspices of the Gross Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the Armenian National Committee of New Jersey.

Bobelian will discuss his recent book, “Children of Armenia: a Forgotten Genocide and the Century-long Struggle for Justice.”  Recently published by Simon and Schuster, it chronicles the aftermath of the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide, explaining how and why the Armenian Genocide disappeared from memory and uncovering, for the first time, the Armenian response to this tragic crime. In particular, it untangles the ongoing struggle between historic truth and geopolitical “pragmatism” of successive U.S. administrations.

Michael Bobelian, a graduate of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, is a lawyer, journalist, and grandson of Genocide survivors. His work has appeared in Forbes.com, American Lawyer, and Legal Affairs magazine and featured on NPR’s Leonard Lopate show. In addition to having been a visiting professor at the American University of Armenia (2005), Michael Bobelian has held positions at the New York Law Journal (2003-2005) and the New York-based law firm of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP (1998-2002). He resides in New York City with his wife and daughter.
