As featured in previous blog posts, I explained how I met Khatchatur Pilikian whose parents had survived the massacres. Khatchatur’s father went on to write a journal about his time living in the Ottoman Empire. I also interviewed Khatchatur’s wife, Araxie.
This is the first time she has spoken about her parents experience. Her parents also escaped the massacres as children.
Joe, Thanks so much for this incredible project! I love what you are doing for yourself, your family and your community in recording these interviews, memories, and personal experiences. Keep it up!
