The Armenian Journey - A Story of an Armenian Genocide: From Despair to Hope in Rhode Island, a film by The Genocide Education Project (GenEd), tells the story of Armenian Genocide survivor Margaret Garabedian Der Manuelian; told through the narrative voice of her great-granddaughter, 21-year old Dalita Getzoyan.A new friend spoke about the Armenian genocide, beginning in 1915, and I didn't know about it. Now I know a little bit more.
Her surviving family members fled to Lebanon, and that is where she was born. Everyone - every Armenian - learns about the genocide while growing up.
But she doesn't harbor ill will toward the Turks, she said, adding that she's forgiven them.
"But you don't forget," I remarked.
"You don't forget," she confirmed.
