Armenian Genocide Commemoration: The Stateless Diplomat

The Stateless Diplomat explores the life of Diana Apcar, an Armenian woman who helped build an international business across Southeast Asia. Faced with the horrors of the Armenian Genocide, Diana fought tirelessly to find sympathy and support for the victims of her ancestral home through books, letters, and her business connections. She later served as the first Armenian Consul to Japan during the short-lived Republic of Armenia.

Diana Apcar’s great-granddaughter, Mimi Malayan, uses her ancestor’s letters and archived documents to share Diana’s history and the journey of the Armenians. Join us for a film screening and discussion in remembrance of the Armenian Genocide.
