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
