Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ SOAP Official Website) The night of April 23rd, 1915 marked the beginning of one of the worst human tragedies ever, aptly titled the Armenian Genocide. Not only were countless men of science, politics and academia ordered to leave their homeland forever but many were unjustly sentenced to death by the Turkish government.
That's not all.
Among the many casualties were helpless women and children, dehumanized, preyed upon and brutalized for no crime other than being Armenian. They would suffer the most being made to travel through the harshest terrain without clothes, food or water. Literally hundreds of thousands died during the journey with the few remaining survivors perishing soon after from starvation and exposure. Perhaps the greatest of all indignities is that this atrocity was almost completely erased from the annals of history.
Silence the Lies and Rock the Truth IV is the fourth annual charity concert with a lineup of socially conscious acts intent on spreading awareness and change within the community through music and activism. This year the event will be held at the famous El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on April 24th, 2012.
