`Musa Dagh Girl: Daughter of Armenian Genocide Survivors' book by
Virginia Matosian Apelian describes how the 1915 Armenian Genocide in
Turkey impacted her family and Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.
Events on the mountain of Musa Dagh become symbolic of many struggles
in life. The book supplies a historical perspective for Armenia's
adoption of Christianity in 301 A.D. and its fierce determination to
observe its religion despite being attacked. No matter what
tribulations are encountered in life, may they be of historical
magnitude or personal ones, Apelian believes trusting Almighty God
will provide the needed guidance. Musa Dagh Girl demonstrates that a
strong faith in God and a focus on personal challenges can bring
success. Readers will be inspired by over 300 photos and stories that
show that hard work and respect sustain hope to continue life's
journey, no matter how harsh daily circumstances may be.
Emigrating from Lebanon to Paterson, N.J. at the age of 12, already a
U.S. citizen, the author experienced the hope and challenges of a new
country. Apelian highly values human rights, understanding that one
group of people inflicting violence upon another is not acceptable
behavior. She was inspired by her parents' courage and respects
Armenian traditions. Musa Dagh Girl encourages future generations to
learn how to survive by faith - by being fearless of an enemy, people
emerge victorious. Apelian wants to inspire people to do their best in
the eyes of God and to be good examples in actions, not just words.
Virginia Apelian views her story and that of the Armenian people as a
celebration of life. She has been a psychologist/educator and
experienced assertiveness trainer and lecturer for 26 years in New
Jersey. For her, being a public servant is a great honor, having
served as the first woman council president. Apelian is listed in
various professional encyclopedias for her outstanding works and has
received many local, state, national and international accolades,
