His six siblings, all murdered.
His parents, murdered.
His aunts and uncles and cousins, all murdered.
I have read that the Mayor or Governor of this area in 1915 refused to participate in the Genocide, and that he was honored by Armenians in New York at some point. Can anyone give info? This man was one of the many righteous Turks.
On your last visit to the Univ. of South Florida, Tampa I gave you the book I had published on my parents memoires, “The Odyssey of an Armenian Revolutionary Couple”. It was the day by day events on the burning of Izmir and the atrocities they faced.
