Nicely done. It is important to share all stories of genocide so that the world will be aware and do something to prevent them.
One of the best documentary, in recent years is The Handjian Story, A Road Less Traveled, produced in 2002, won first place in the Moondance Film Festival, in Denver. Should be seen schools to expose the horrors of Genocide and how those survivors made the best of their lives and past their memoirs to the children. A must see for all!!
Lalai jan, your ability to tie worlds together is very refreshing. Survival and continuance of life and generations is important to prove the wrong that is/was done. nice article.
