The Postdam University and House of Lepsius (Lepsiushaus) signed an agreement on activating the existing programs on the Armenian Genocide, Asbarez reports.

The “Lepsiushaus” used to be the home of Dr. Johannes Lepsius, the great German humanist, philosopher, and historian, famous for his unstinting fight for Armenian human rights during and after the Armenian Genocide. During the Cold War the building was abandoned, but later reconstructed.

The new “Lepsiushaus” opened its door last year as a “Research Center for Genocide Studies.” The cooperation between Lepsiushaus and the University of Potsdam will be a major step to establish research on the topic of the Armenian Genocide.
