Thank you for keeping alive the memory of all those that underwent the attempt to wipe them off the earth. And thank you to those that did survive for their courage, steadfastness and undying faith.
This appears to be an important addition to all before it – especially with (my recent) awareness of the orphanages run by Turks to ‘cleanse’ the children of any Armenian identity. I also was impacted with the strong contrast in the review of what the children’s lives had been pre April, 1915, and what they experienced after, turning them into nearly unrecognizable near-corpses.
