About this listen

In her newest book, Diaspora Daughter, Julie Sarkissian writes about a Gen X teen learning about her family’s harrowing escape from the Armenian Genocide in 1915.

Julie based her story on her great grandmother’s and great uncle’s devastating loss in the genocide, and ultimate rescue after four years of aimlessly wandering around Europe.

We discuss the difficut family anecdotes which comprise her great grandmother’s history and who, surprisingly, revealed them.
