Could the survivors overcome
everything that they saw?
I have recently seen a video about a
104-year-old lady who’s sharing her memories with a reporter; she explains her
memories about what happened on the night of 24th April 1915 when a group of
Turks invaded their village.
She also tells that she can’t often
sleep at night because she remembers her mum being taken away and also when
they killed her dad.
She says that the experience that
she had, is not a thing that you can forget in some years, is something that
you will never forget.
She was 8 years old when that
happened, she’s 104 years old now and she’s still thinking and remembering the
night when her world changed forever.
So, we have the answer to our question;
it’s impossible to forget a thing that changes your life although that thing
happened a long time ago.
And this is the main reason; we have
to know about the massacres in the world because who’ll guarantee you that
tomorrow you won’t be the next victim?
A 104 year old grandma a survivor of the Armenian
genocide sharing her memory’s:
Who after knowing about the Armenian
genocide speaks today about what did happened in the year 1915?
Maybe not a lot of people, but we
have to. We have to talk about that because we need to know what happened in
the past and what is still happening now all over the world.
We see a video about the Armenians
genocide in 1915 and we think that it’s just something passed, but as I said,
it’s something that is happening now, in some parts of the world like in
Darfur.
We don’t want to be the next chapter
in this story, do we?
We have to know that “those who
cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.
And that’s the answer of why we have
to know and to talk about the Armenian genocide: because it was the first, but
unfortunately we believe that is not going to be the last.
