"The family is documenting this Christmas celebration for posterity and
simultaneously affirming their true faith, despite having outwardly adopted
their oppressors’ faith. There may also be a political message here. The flag on
the table has three horizontal stripes and two oblique bands with three stars in
each. This resembles the flag of the Society of Armenian Students of Geneva:
Geneva was the center of diasporan Armenian nationalist activity in the
1890s. Both the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) or “Hunchaks” and the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation or “Dashnaktsutiun” were active in Geneva,
with the former being founded by Armenian university students. The photograph is
thus a statement of resistance – resistance spiritually and in the name of the
nascent
Armenian nation."
