The story of Edward Racoubian

Edward Racoubian was a survivor of the Armenian genocide, and was born in 1908. His picture shows a weathered face with balding hair and an amazing mustache.

In the description of Edward's trek as a prisoner, Edward faced many challenges and horrors along the way. His face shows hints of fear, as his eyes look into the camera recounting the horrors of the journey. " Of a caravan of nearly 10,000 people, there were now only some of us 300 left. My aunt, my sisters, my brothers had all died or disappeared."


I believe that after the events recollected in the story by Edward, he was able to escape from the terrible Turkish military personnel and escaped to America.
