  1. Great information. I’ve been stunned by the effort the NER has shown and the amount of money that it has raised. I was lucky to see the traveling display of the posters at the library in Los Angeles. Thanks for bringing awareness.

  2. The Near East Foundation, The Genocide Education Project, and Ron Levitsky published “They Shall Not Perish: The Story of Near East Relief,” in 2015, a curriculum booklet for high school social studies courses on America’s response to the Armenian Genocide, through the work of the Near East Relief foundation.

  3. We Armenians are extremely grateful for the immense amount of work done by the NER. Saving the lives of thousands of orphans. However, the United States, even at the turn of the last century were the richest and most powerful country in the world, could have stopped Turkey in its tracks thus preventing the whole genocide ever taking place. Instead despite half-hearted efforts by the then president Woodrow Wilson to create an independent country for Armenians living on their ancestral lands, the U.S. succumbed to political pressures , finally settling for the charitable work of saving the orphans.

  4. I am looking for an orphan who was ultimately transported to the United States from Yerevan, Armenia. After leaving Van, a single mother found herself in famine times and the child was left temporarily in an American run orphanage until she could find food to support her. If anyone has information about how to track down the name of the orphanage and any paperwork about the processing of these children to perhaps adoptions or transfers, please please contact me. Any lead is helpful. Thank you.

  5. Yes ,we are grateful to US population for saving the orphans,
    Yes ,without their help I30.000 Armenian orphans would not survive.
    And yet , did US government answer to outcry of his embassateur Henry Morgnthau that “Armenian nation is being exterminated” by Ottoman regime !!!. No ,No, US senate did not approve W. Wilson arbitrary decree for Western Armenian homeland and boundaries under US protectorate….
    No , also other European nations did not stop , mostly Germany and England , for their “National interest “ and to have “ Special privileges”( Rail road, mines, petroleum,etcetera…).
    Thy turned blind eye to Armenian Genocide… and Armenian were exterminated by Turks ….
