The history of the Nshanian family was presented to us by Varoujan Nshanian during the Houshamadyan workshop in Athens, in April 2022.
The main character of this family history is Sdepan, Varoujan‘s father, who was born in Constantinople and later emigrated to Greece.
In Athens, Sdepan owned his own transportation/bus company. Most of the photographs in this family collection focus on Sdepan and the various cars and buses that he owned.
This micro-history of the Nshanian family was prepared by Ani Apigian, who lives in Athens. This is Ani‘s first article that appears on Houshamadyan. She is currently in the process of writing additional articles that we will soon publish.
This page was also made possible thanks to the efforts of the Armenika newspaper of Athens and the Athens chapter of the Hamazkayin Cultural Association. The workshop during which
Houshamadyan obtained these materials was sponsored by the German EVZ (Remembrance, Responsibility, Future) Foundation.
