I Ask You, Ladies and Gentlemen

We received a precious delivery on 17 November 2019 – 77 boxes of I Ask You, Ladies and Gentlemen by Leon Surmelian, our latest publication. The idea to re-publish the out-of-print book was the brainchild of our trustee Richard Anooshian, who also supported the project financially.

Thanks to the efforts of our team, re-publication of the 1945 bestseller became a reality: you can read all about the book here and order it here.

We have already held two book launches, at the Wiener Holocaust Library and the Nevarte Gulbenkian Hall and are so pleased how well the book was received.

Language Classes

We concluded the first trimester of our language classes in December. Our Eastern and Western Armenian classes, with a total of 34 students, are divided into 3 levels – basic, intermediate and advanced and we have a wonderful group of students, taught by Gagik Stepan-Sarkissian (Eastern Armenian) and Sona Kalenderian (Western Armenian).   A new tradition was introduced after this trimester: some of our students made presentations about their preferred subject in Armenian.

We had 3 volunteers this time, talking about Kafka’s ‘Metamarphosis’; Armenian painter Carzou, and digitising our latest publication, I Ask You, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Here are our proud teachers with their students. We look forward to more student presentation events in the future. For more information on language classes get in touch with us or check this page.
