Armenian Genocide

Available for over a year

Rosa Khedirian was three in 1915 when the Turks murdered her Greek mother and Armenian father and many others in the Armenian community living in Turkey. Her life was spared, but the Turks thrust her hand into an open fire leaving her terribly mutilated and with a constant reminder of the day she was orphaned. Despite the trauma she has suffered, Rosa bears little bitterness towards the people who so brutally altered the course of her life. Their punishment, she says, will come from God. "We suffered very much. I was small. I feel I can't say anything because it is done and finished."
