Slave Collar as a Weapon of War (Treasures from Our Collection)

During the Armenian Genocide, Edward Hovanesian witnessed the slaughter of his family. He was captured and endured physical pain that became a part of his tragic past. A spiked metal dog collar worn by Anatolian sheep dogs was fastened to his neck by his Turkish captors. After World War I he escaped, and the collar was brought to the United States in 1921 when he immigrated to join his brother in New England. In this video, Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian shows one of the objects in our collection that illustrate the inhumanity of the Genocide.
