To know your past, is to know yourself.

Miss Lamme and I went today to the Jewish quarters to look up Syrian (Assyrian) refugees there. We found them in large numbers in the Jewish houses, where they had been kept and in some cases fed. Yesterday the French Mission sent away from their yards two hundred and fifty or more persons, who first went to the Governor. He telephoned Dr. Shedd, and we had to receive them. They were put into Dr. Israel's house in Dilgusha, outside the city walls. All the houses there have been completely plundered, many have been robbed of doors and windows. No one thinks of returning to homes there, but a great many have returned to Mart Maryam.

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."
