Today is #ArmenianGenocide Remembrance Day, marking the arrest and deportation of hundreds of Armenian leaders and intellectuals in Constantinople on April 24th, 1915. Most were eventually killed. Deportations and massacres of Armenians had already begun in other parts of the Ottoman Empire and would continue. One million Armenians were killed, many in concentration camps or on death marches. I'm a descendent of Genocide survivors. Let their histories not be forgotten.
