They belong to the family collection of Silva Avedisian. Two women stand out in Silva‘s story- her great grandmother Yeghis and her grandmother Vosgi. Both were born in Izmir. The two migrated to Greece in the early 1920s. They started a new life there amidst difficult conditions.

Silva meticulously preserves these items of memory. They are vestiges of a rich former life.
