THE SURVIVOR
The Silent Genocide of the Armenians
In the City of Khoy, Iran 1917-1918
GLENDALE, CA On Thursday, January 23, 2014, at 7 pm, the author,
Rosemary H. Cohen will present The Survivor, the true story of the
silent Genocide of the Armenians by Turkish Ottoman soldiers in the city
of Khoy, Iran, at the Glendale Central Library Auditorium, 222 East
Harvard Street in Glendale. The presentation is in English. Admission is
free; seating is limited. Library visitors receive 3 hours FREE parking
across the street at The Market Place parking structure with validation
at the Loan Desk.
The Survivor is a tender and sensitive true story of Arousiak, who was
born in the City of Khoy, northwest of Iran. Arousiak the grandmother of
the author, wishes for an education, but she marries instead, at the age
of twelve and half years to Yeprem, who was 24 years old. Arousiak is
happy as a new bride, living in luxury, with a devoted husband. But soon
her life shatters, as in 1918, the Turkish Ottoman soldiers occupied the
City of Khoy, and massacred almost the entire Armenian population of the
city who used to live there for centuries. The eighteen-year-old
Arousiak, and her three year-old daughter's happy existence was
transformed into the difficult life of the survivors. Yet she continues
living, and struggles to educate and provide for her only daughter, her
sole reminder of her deep love and glorious past.
Dr. Rosemary Hartounian Cohen is an award-winning author, journalist,
and an accomplished artist. She is the author of Korban - The Sacrifice
of Liana, Terrorists or Martyrs, The Mother of Jerusalem is Crying,
Anoush - The Daughter of King Shen and The Survivor, which has been
translated in Armenian, Farsi, and French. She has written many articles
in The Jewish Heritage, thefrontpageonline.com, the Jewish Journal, The
Armenian Reporter, Javanan and etc. Dr. Cohen is also the founder and
director of the Liana Cohen Foundation, a non-profit organization
encouraging youth to study music, as well as providing the healing touch
of music and arts to grieving families and survivors of tragedies, such
as victims of drunk-driving, alcohol and drug abuse. Dr. Cohen is a
well-known writer and artist in the United States and abroad. She is
currently working on the second edition of The Survivor, which will
include the stories of additional survivors of the Armenian Genocide and
new historical findings.
