The extraordinary escape from the 'Armenian Genocide' of Kim
Kardashian's ancestors - thanks to a 'prophet' who urged them to
uproot to America - can be revealed today for the first time.
The Daily Mail has unearthed a treasure trove of images showing the
reality TV star's ethnic Armenian forebears who fled the tsarist
Russian empire in the early 20th century, many of whom obeyed the
advice of the sage.
Known at the time as the Kardaschoffs, in Russian style, the family
made their way from their home village of Karakale in the late 19th
Century to German ports. From there, they travelled to a new life in
America on the passenger vessels SS Brandenberg and SS Koln.
By doing so, they escaped the triple horror of the First World War
from 1914-18, the 'Armenian Genocide' starting in 1915 - exactly a
century ago this year - and the Russian Revolution in 1917.
One hundred years after the deadly holocaust decimated their ancestral
home, the Kardashians have become one of the most influential families
in America.
The most famous of which is Kim who has chosen this year, on the
hundredth anniversary of the atrocity, to visit Armenia for the first
time.
But her lavish lifestyle, the expensive houses, an army of followers
who hang on her every tweet, the marriage to a musical superstar would
not exist if her ancestors had ignored the warning of a child
"prophet".
