Silences:
My Mother's Will to Survive


by
Alice Tashjian


This is the story of an astoundingly courageous woman who survived the Armenian Genocide in the early part of the 20th century. The story was originally a print volume, and the Mother Millennia project is particularly grateful to the author, Alice Tashjian, for allowing it to be published here as well.
