Y. 11105 © 1990, MICHAEL KEHYAIAN PRINTING; COLOR LITHO, Made in U.S.A, ISBN 0-914567-11-7 MY DEDICATION each mother and father, in this beautiful land ^ of the United States, who has taught a daughter to believe in God, I dedicate my book. I saw my own mother's body, its life ebbed out, flung onto the desert because she had taught me that Jesus Christ was my Saviour. I saw my father die in pain because he said to me, his little girl, “Trust in the Lord; His will be done." I saw thousands upon thousands of beloved daughters of gentle mothers die under the whip, or the knife, or from the torture of hunger and thirst, or carried away into slavery because they would not renounce the glorious crown of their Christianity. God saved me that I might bring to America a mes- sage from those of my people who are left, and every father and mother will understand that what T tell in these pages is told with love and thankfulness to Him for my escape. Aurora Mardiganian. The Latham, New York City, December, 1918. ACKNOWLEDGMENT For verification of these amazing things, which little Aurora told me that 1 might tell them, in our own language, to all the world, 1 am indebted to Lord Bryce, formerly British Ambassador to the United States, who was commissioned by the British Government to investigate the massacres; to Dr. Clarence Ussher, of whom Aurora speaks in her story, and who witnessed the massacres at Van; and to Dr. MacCallum, who rescued Aurora at Erzerum and made possible her coming to America. You may read Aurora’s story with entire confidence - every word is true. As the story of what happened to one Christian girl, it is a proven document. H.L. Gates 1918 . FOREWORD This book was first published in 1918, under the title "Ravished Armenia". The incidents it describes had happened just a short time before. At the time of its publication, Nora Wain, of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian relief, wrote these introductory words: "She stood beside me - a slight little girl with glossy black hair. Until 1 spoke to her and she lifted her eyes, in which were written the indelible story of her suffering, I could not believe that she was Aurora Mardiganian whom 1 had been expecting. She could not speak English, but in Armenian she spoke a few words of greeting. "Several weeks earlier a letter had come to me telling me about this little Armenian girl who was to be expected, asking me to help her upon her arrival. The year before, an Armenian boy had come from our relief station in the Caucasus and kind friends had made it possible to send him to boarding school. 1 had formed a similar plan to send Aurora to the same school when she arrived. "We talked about education that afternoon, through her interpreter, but she shook her head sadly. She would like to go to school, and study music as her father had planned she should before the massacres, but now she had a message to deliver - a message from her suffering nation to the moth- ers and fathers of the United States. The determination in the child*s eyes made me ask her age and she answered ’Seventeen’ "Tired, and worn out nervously as she was, Aurora insisted upon telling us of the scenes she had left behind her - massacres, families driven out across the desert, girls sold into Turkish harems, women ravished by the roadside, little children dying of starvation. She begged us to help her to help her people. ^My father said America was the friend of the oppressed. General Andranik sent me here because he trusted you to help me,’ she pleaded. "And so her story was translated. Sometimes there had to be intervals of rest of several days, because her suffering had so unnerved her. She wanted to keep at it during all the heat of the summer, but by using the argument that she would learn English, we persuaded her to go to a camp off the coast of Connecticut for three weeks. "In October of 1917 1 attended a luncheon given by an American relief organization and 1 listened to persons, the truthfulness of whose statements I could not doubt, tell how a church had been filled with Christian Armenians, women and children, saturated with oil and set on fire; of refined, educated girls sold in the slave markets of the East; of little children starving to death. "1 listened almost unable to believe and yet as 1 looked around the luncheon table, there were familiar faces, the - faces of men and women whose word 1 could not doubt Dr. James L. Barton, Chairman of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, Ambassadors Morgenthau and Elkus, who spoke from personal knowledge, Cleveland H. Dodge, whose daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Huntington, is in Constantinople, and whose son is in Beirut, both helping with relief work. Miss Lucille Foreman of Germantown, C.V. Vickrey, Executive Secretary of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, Dr. Samuel T. Dutton of the World Court League, George T. Scott, Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, and others. "Since then it has happened that nearly every communication from the East - Persia, Russian Caucasus and the Ottoman Empire, has passed through my hands and 1 know that conditions have not been exaggerated in this book. In this introduction 1 want to refer you to Lord Bryce^s report, to Ambassador Morgenthau^s story, to the recent speeches of Lord Cecil before the British Parliament, and the files of our own State Department, and you will learn that stories similar to this one can be told by any one of the 3,950,000 refugees. "Speaking of the character of the Armenians, Ambassador Morgenthau said in an article published in the New York ^Evening Sun^: Trom the times of Herodotus this portion of Asia has borne the name of Armenia. The Armen- ians of the present day are the direct descendants of the people who inhabited the country 3,000 years ago. Their origin is so ancient that it is lost in fable and mystery. There are still undeciphered cuneiform inscriptions on the rocky hills of Van, the largest Armenian city, that have led certain scholars - though not many, 1 must admit - to identify the Armenian race with the Hittites of the Bible. What is defin- itely known about the Armenians, however, is that for ages they have constituted the most civilized and most industrious race in the Eastern section of the Ottoman Empire. From their mountains they have spread over the Sultanas dominions, and form a considerable element in the population of all the large cities. Everywhere they are known for their industry, their intelligence and their decent and orderly lives. With the Greeks, the Armenians constituted the econ- omic strength of the Empire. These people became Christians in the fourth century and established the Armenian Church as their state religion. This is said to be the oldest Christian Church in existence. ^In the face of persecutions which have had no parallel elsewhere, these people have clung to their early Christian faith with the utmost tenacity. For 1,500 years they have lived there in Armenia, a little island of Christians, surrounded by peoples of hostile religion and hostile race. Their long existence has been one unending martyrdom. The territory which they inhabit forms the connecting link between Europe and Asia, and all the Asiatic invasions - Saracens, Tartars, Mongols, Kurds and Turks - have passed over their peaceful country.* "Aurora Mardiganian has come to America to tell the story of her suffering peoples and to do her part in making it possible for her country to be rebuilt. She is only a little girl, but in giving her story to the American people she is, 1 feel, playing one of the greatest parts in helping to reestab- lish again ^peace on earth, good will to men' in ancient Bible lands, the home in her generation of her people. December 2, 1918 Nora Wain One Madison Avenue, New York" PREFACE When this book, "Ravished Armenia," was first published in 1918 it immediately aroused public outrage against the Ottoman Turkish government for the terrible Genocide perpetrated against the Armenian nation. Countless news accounts and articles had appeared in the American press about the dreadful massacres but here was an eyewitness account by a young girl who had experienced first- hand the unbelievable cruelty of the Turks. Many other books have been written about the Genocide over the years — by learned scholars and historians of all nationalities -- but this first-hand account remains as one of the most vivid and revealing. The Genocide is seared in the hearts of every Armenian, for it was indeed the first Holocaust of the 20th Century.

  • The United States' Various Responses to the Armenian Genocide
    The Alexandrian II, no. 1 (2013) The United States’ Various Responses to the Armenian Genocide Rebecca Johnson In 1915 during the First World War, the Turks of the Ottoman Empire killed a significant number of Christian Armenians. The Turkish leaders targeted the Armenian people for allying with Turkey’s traditional enemy, Russia. The Turks deported most Armenians to camps and murdered them, but also killed others in their homes and communities where U.S. missionaries and diplomats witnessed it. The Americans then reported these atrocities to the U.S. asking for intervention. These reports brought about awareness of the killings and prompted various responses from the United States. An immediate popular response came from the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief (ACASR). ACASR successfully raised millions of dollars for Armenian relief through its self-directed efforts to hold fundraisers and rallies throughout the country. The government responded informally through the American Committee for the Independence of Armenia (ACIA), designed to help Armenia gain independence. This long-range response failed in gaining independence for Armenia because the committee had to persuade another entity, the federal government, to act in a particular way over which the committee had no control. This paper examines the differences between the American’s nongovernmental and governmental response; in particular it maintains that the private committee, the ACASR, was more successful than the quasi-governmental ACIA because ACASR’s goals were more immediate and achievable through its own efforts. In 1915 during the First World War, the Turks of the Ottoman Empire killed a significant number of Christian Armenians.

Vartan Matiossian & Alan Whitehorn, National Post, 29 April 2014 April is Genocide Awareness Month, an opportunity for people around the world to remember the victims of such events as the Rwandan Genocide, the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide. Amidst the mass deportations and killings of Armenians that began in April, 1915, some of the targeted civilian victims survived. One was a young orphan girl, Arshaluys Mardigian (1901-1994), who lived just north of the city of Harpout in the Ottoman Empire. While most of her family was killed, she managed to flee the massacres and eventually immigrated as a teenager to the United States, where she lived initially under the auspices of an official of the American Committee of Armenian and Syrian Relief (later to become the highly influential international aid organization Near East Relief). Upon her arrival, the young orphan was interviewed by American reporters about her horrific experiences.

  • Affirming Genocide Knowledge Through Rituals
    6 Affirming Genocide Knowledge through Rituals Parts I and II of this book examined the emergence of repertoires of knowledge regarding the Armenian genocide through social interaction, objectified thought processes, bearing witness, and the involvement of knowledge entrepreneurs. We saw how knowledge generated through these processes took radically different shapes as it became sedimented within each of two distinct carrier groups, Arme- nians and Turks. Oppositional worldviews and associated knowledge reper toires are not unique to this case, of course. We find them, for example, when those who recognize the role of human action in global warming encounter others who see a Chinese conspiracy at work, aimed at harming the U.S. economy. Or again, when those who know that liberal or social democracy will secure a prosperous and secure future disagree with followers of populist authoritarian leaders and parties. The question arises of how each collectivity deals with the challenges posed by the other side. Now, in part III, we encounter two strategies commonly deployed in struggles over knowledge. While chapters 7 and 8 address conflictual engagement with the opposing side in the realms of politics and law, and chapter 9 explores counterpro- ductive effects of denial in an age of human rights hegemony, the present chapter examines the use of elaborate public rituals toward the reaffirmation of genocide knowledge within each of the contending collectivities. We owe early social-scientific insights into the role of rituals in social life to Émile Durkheim. In his book The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, Durkheim ([1912] 2001) tells us about the ability of rituals to sanctify objects and charge sym- bols that represent them with a special energy.

    Book Chapter Ravished Armenia (1919): Bearing witness in the age of mechanical reproduction. Some thoughts on a film-ordeal GARIBIAN, Sévane Abstract "Ravished Armenia, also entitled Auction of Souls, is the only film of its kind, being based on the testimony of the young Aurora Mardiganian (real name Archaluys Mardigian), who survived the Armenian genocide and exiled in the United States on 1917, aged sixteen. This 1919 silent film is based on a script written by the editors of Aurora’s memoirs. Produced by a pioneer of American cinema, on behalf of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, it was shot in record time and featured a star cast, Hollywood sets and hundreds of extras. At the top of the bill was Aurora herself. Initially presented as a cinematografic work with a charitable objective, Ravished Armenia was above all a blockbuster, designed to create a commercial sensation amidst which the original witness, dispossessed of her own story, would be lost. The few remaining images/traces (only one reel, as the others had misteriously disappeared) of what was the first cinematografic reconstitution of a genocide narrated by a female survivor testify in themselves to two things: both to the Catastrophe, through the screening of the body-as-witness in [...] Reference GARIBIAN, Sévane.

Today, in the first half of the 21st century, we are again poised at a critical juncture and are facing choices that will have very serious consequences for our nation. We must compare possible trajectories for the nation’s future development and make choices that reflect our keen awareness of our responsibility to the generations to come.
