First Armenian Slave Girl Rescued February 1920
Many of the young Armenian girls that
survived the 1915-1916 deportation caravans were abducted and sold into
domestic servitude to wealthy Arabs. The story of Vartanousch is briefly
described in the American news reports of the times. However, the story
of Alma Sakaian, which I have researched for several years will be told
in a screen play and novel titled "From Aghin." I am most interested to
be contacted by individuals that believe a movie and a novel will
foster awareness of the untold stories of this era. Please link to a
collection of photos that document Alma's sixty-five day Caravan,
abduction by slave traders and rescue by her uncle
