Kay Mouradian: Voices From The Past
Kay Mouradian wrote her first novel, A Gift in the Sunlight: An
Armenian Story after her mother's remarkable survival of the
Armenian genocide prompted her to examine her own ancestral
past. After working in various libraries and archives in the
United States, she visited Hadjin, the village in Turkey where her
mother and her mother's family, along with 20,000 other
Hadjintsies, were forced to leave their homes. Traveling across the
same deportation route to the deserts of Syria where more than a
million perished in the Armenian Genocide, she became acutely
aware of the suffering of her mother's generation and the
lingering sense of injustice they carried.
This series awakens some of those voices lost to history.
