A talk with Victor Bivell on: Macedonia Genocide Books Homeland & Villages
Victor Bivell’s talk outlines four key efforts: promoting Macedonian literature through free ebooks, documenting the largely underrepresented Macedonian perspective on the Balkan Wars and genocide, encouraging diaspora return or support to sustain Macedonia as a homeland, and revitalizing declining villages by strengthening connections between communities and their ancestral roots.
Chris Paliare Presents: “My Journey in Defending Human Rights for Macedonians, Here and Abroad”
The Canadian Macedonian Historical Society was pleased to host Chris Paliare for an engaging presentation, “My Journey in Defending Human Rights for Macedonians, Here and Abroad.” Paliare reflected on the early years of Macedonian human rights advocacy in Canada during the 1980s, when speaking publicly for Macedonian identity and rights was both rare and challenging. He shared his experiences working alongside Mary and Trian Dimitriou and international delegations to bring attention to the human rights struggles of Macedonians in Greece and Bulgaria, efforts that helped shape the formation of the Macedonian Human Rights Movement International in 1986. Through stories of advocacy at both grassroots demonstrations in Toronto and international forums in Helsinki, Warsaw, and Moscow, Paliare reminded attendees that meaningful change begins when individuals choose to stand up, speak out, and defend human rights for future generations.
