Updated: December 9, 2014
Transl. by Diran Meghreblian with an introduction by Yves Ternon 176
pp, illust., ISBN 9781909382152. pb. US$24.00 / UK£16.00
Every destiny is unique, but that of a survivor stands out because
it wasn't interrupted when the multitude were destroyed. He is like
a piece of wreckage that is thrown by the waves onto a beach after
a storm to reveal the scale of the disaster and cerry with it - its
echo reverberating from generation to generation - the last scream
of the dead: 'Do not forget us' -Yves Ternon (from introduction to
My Father's Destiny)
My Father's Destiny is one of few English language accounts of the
Armenian Genocide in Sivas, the province with the largest Armenian
population in the Ottoman Empire. It work is composed of a translation
of Aram Gureghian's memoirs written at the age of 16 shortly after the
Armenian Genocide; the Gureghian family's subsequent fate in France
and Soviet Armenia; and a specific account of the Armenian Genocide
in Sivas - the ancestral homeland of the Gureghian family. This
highly readable work was originally published in French (1999),
then in Turkish (2004), and is now available in English.
