Some of Us Survived: The Story of an Armenian Boy

by Kerop Bedoukian

A poignant story, told though the eyes of Kerop Bedoukian, who was a nine-year-old child at the time of the Genocide. Kerop, his mother, and the rest of his family with the exception of his father (who had been taken away by Turkish soldiers), and 30,000 other Armenians were evicted from their homes in Sivas, gathered into a column, and driven into the desert where only 1,500 survived. Kerop and his family were among the survivors, some of whom went to the United States, while others emigrated to Canada, via Bulgaria and England.
