Armen Anush

A boy of nine at the beginning of the genocide, Armen Anush witnessed the cold-blooded atrocities that the Turks committed against thousands of innocent Armenian deportees, before and after reaching the infamous city of Der-Zor in the Syrian desert. Surviving the carnage almost miraculously, Armen Anush was raised in the orphanages ofAleppo, and went on to become a distinguished educator and author.
