Born in Ankara, Turkey, to an Armenian family, Haroutioun Ohanian and his siblings, Victoria, Vahan, and Simon, were children of the genocide. They witnessed death and destruction and experienced starvation and deportation. They lost their parents. The children survived because aunts and uncles took care of them, for a time. But these loving relatives, under threat themselves, could not prevent the family from being separated. Haroutioun and Vahan spent much of their childhood in orphanages, some in a foreign land.This is a compelling story of survival and perseverance, hope and courage, and determination. It is a personal one, too, because the author is Haroutioun's daughter. "Haroutioun" means resurrection in Armenian-a fitting name for a man who overcame the brutality of genocide to build a new life in his adopted country.
