“I grew up in a two-family house in the Armenian enclave of East Watertown, Massachusetts. My parents, my sister, and I lived on the ground floor, and my grandmother and uncle lived above us. My grandmother and her friends spoke Armenian, cooked Armenian food, and as a community worked to recreate an Armenian world out of the remnants of what had survived the genocide and ethnic cleansing they had endured but rarely spoke about.” – Nancy Kricorian
