The Montebello Genocide Memorial in Montebello, CA is a solemn tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide and all victims of crimes against humanity. Unveiled in 1968, the monument stands as a beacon for Armenians worldwide, reminding us to remember and honor the martyrs of the genocide. The monument's historical origins, design, and construction can be explored on their website, along with updates on current events and opportunities to contribute to its maintenance and preservation.
The monument's significance is further highlighted by the recent passing of a bill by the California State Assembly, directing the placement of informational signs on the 60 freeway to guide motorists to the Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument. This achievement has been celebrated by the entire Armenian community, and plans are underway to install the signs before next year's April 24th commemoration event. Donations are welcomed to support the monument's upkeep, the installation of freeway signs, and Armenian Genocide education awareness.
