Ravished Armenia by Aurora Mardiganian
"Ravished Armenia" by Aurora Mardiganian is a memoir written in 1918 about her experiences during the Armenian genocide. At fourteen, Mardiganian witnessed the murder of her family and endured captivity in Turkish harems while maintaining her Christian faith. She eventually escaped with help from a Canadian missionary and was sent to America to share her story. The book documents brutal atrocities against Armenian women and children, becoming a crucial historical testimony of
the massacres. A film adaptation followed in 1919, though all complete copies have been lost. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
