The Racine Public Library is honored to be the recent recipient of a much valued memoir entitled, "My Mother's Story," by Mary Charbogian, a long-time resident of Racine. Mr. and Mrs. Charbogian and their family visited the library to present the book in person. Director Jessica MacPhail was on hand to extend her gratitude on behalf of the library for receiving such a cherished gift.
This moving story highlights the personal recollections and harrowing details of Mrs. Carbogian's mother during the Armenian massacre and her subsequent immigration to the United States. The elder Mrs. Charbogian was the only member of her family to survive the massacre. Copies of the book will be kept in the Racine Archives, as well as in a circulating collection for interested readers to check out.
The Racine Public Library recognizes the importance of personal family stories to our nation's history and encourages the donation of other family histories by our community. Please contact the library at 262-636-9170 if you have a personal family memoir or written narrative you would be willing to donate.
The Racine Public Library thanks the Charbogian family for their generous donation.
