Congressman Adam Schiff — the primary sponsor of H. Res. 252 called on Armenian Genocide survivors, as well as family members and descendents to send stories and memories to be included into the Congressional Record, Asbarez reports.

“Let us fill the Congressional Record with the personal histories of those who survived the genocide and their families. While there are still some survivors left, we can use the official record of the Congress to document the first genocide of the last century. This can become an important resource for historians, a vital part of our nation’s archives, and a part of the continuing effort to educate Members of Congress as we move forward with the genocide resolution,” Asbarez quotes the Congressman.
