Assyrians of Eastern Massachusetts

Sargon Donabed and Ninos Donabed The widespread persecution of the Christian Assyrians by neighboring population in the Ottoman Empire led to their immigration o the United States. Beginning at the end of the 19th century, with an influx during the Great War, Assyrians settled mostly in eastern Massachusetts, finding an abundance of work along its ports and among its large factory base. Concerned with the welfare of their community, these immigrants established a multitude of cultural, social, and political institutions to help promote awareness of Assyria.
