A SYMPOSIUM WILL BE HELD IN MEMORY OF MARIA JACOBSEN TO COMMEMORATE THE 94TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Friday 24th April 2009 from 16.30 - 19.00 at: Pensionhighschool Fredericiagade 84, 1. CopenhagenThe Committee will mark the memory of two Danish missionaries: Miss Maria Jacobsen [1982-1960] and Miss Karen Jeppe [1876-1935] Maria Jacobsens wrote a diary during the time she worked as a nurse in the American hospital in Harpoot [Kharpert] covering the period between 1907-1919. She later moved to the new Annie Tracy Riggs Hospital which opened in Mezreh, located at Villayet Mamurat-Ul-Aziz in former Ottoman Empires, Turkey.
Over decades K.M.A [Woman's Missionary Workers] has raised thousands of kronerīs and sent dozens of missionaries for Armenian relief. Maria Jacobsen, who stayed at her post during the Armenian Genocide, recorded her own eyewitness account on local conditions while the Ottoman government carried out its programme of annihilating the Armenians under the cover of World War I.
Until recently the original diary was available only in facsimile form attached to the Armenian version, translated, edited and introduced in 1979 by Nerses Pakhdikian and Mihran Simonian
The committee has made a fair copy of the diary. The manuscript is almost finished; it has been edited from old Danish to modern Danish and ready to be published in a digitized format. The Committee, therefore, is holding a symposium to introduce a Limited Edition of the diary to the general public. The book which contains an introduction, some articles of lightning accessories and annotation, is to be published in September 2009.
