Friday, July 24, 2026 at 2:15 AM in Nineveh, Assyria

To know your past, is to know yourself.

Upon our return to Baghdad, my father received a letter from my oldest brother Pera, who had been sent to the United States to further his education. In his letter, Pera told my father that to try to go back to our home-land just for the purpose of being near the vineyards, farmland and other property which our family owned, was inadvisable, because the Islamic countries would never be safe for Christianity. After a great deal of deliberation, and having given serious consideration to Pera's letter, my father went to the American Consulate in Baghdad and applied for an immigration visa to the United States.

The new award-winning documentary made by German filmmaker Eric Friedler compellingly proves the truth of the genocide of the Armenian people. Using the actual words of 23 German, American and other nationals who witnessed the events, and armed with archival materials, "Aghet" expertly takes on the challenge that PM Erdogan hurled at the world by stating: "Prove it."
