Abstract
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the Haigazian University Society of Armenian Studies (HUSAS) embarked on a book project.
They called upon the 9th to 12th grade students of the Armenian Schools in Lebanon to research and write about their family history. With no limitations of any sort the students were challenged to write about their family life in the decades preceding the Genocide, the perilous years their families faced during the Genocide, and the aftermath.
HUSAS members visited the schools, where they showed a documentary film on the topic, distributed road-mad leaflets to the students and asked the support of the school administration and teachers. Both the administration and the Armenian teaching staff of the schools welcomed the idea. They encouraged their students to write and explained the advantages of such an undertaking.
Soon the compositions started flowing in from all the Lebanese Armenian schools. HUSAS members selected 100 compositions, slightly edited the texts, and asked for photos from the authors.
This book is the compilation of those one hundred school children's compositions, which tell the stories of decimation and survival of 100 Armenian families who faced the Genocide.
