Armenia’s Tragedy

On 02/28/1919, the Oregon Journal urges Portland residents to do their part and help raise $73,200 for #ArmenianGenocide survivors.  “The survivors of this three-year orgy of massacre are on the verge of starvation.  They are emaciated from privation, clad in wretched rags.  They are dazed from their horrible experiences.  They are kept alive only by the daily ladle of soup or stew from the relief kitchens, and are without the first essential for reconstruction work.” #GenocideDiary #AmericaWeThankYou #NearEastRelief
