    TWO NEW BOOKS ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RELEASED

    Two exceptional books on the Armenian Genocide, "Genocide of Armenians
    through Swedish Eyes" by Goran Gunner and "Ravished Armenia: The real
    life story of Aurora Mardiganian" are among new releases, as Armenians
    worldwide commemorate the 98th anniversary of Armenian Genocide. The
    books have been published with Ameria Groupís support in eternal
    memory of the souls lost in the Armenian Genocide Asbarez reports.

    The presentation of the books by Hayk Demoyan, the Armenian Genocide
    Museum-Institute Director, was followed by a screening of a piece from
    the first Hollywood film on Armenian Genocide called Ravished Armenia.

    The film has been later renamed to The Auction of Souls.

    In 1918, sixteen year-old Arshalouys Aurora Mardiganian, a survivor
    and eyewitness of the Armenian Genocide, showed the world the ugliness
    and horror of genocide through her memoirs, followed by a silent film.

    The story of Aurora-a girl from Chmshkatsag, an Armenian populated
    town in the Ottoman Empire, gave an accurate and detailed account of
    her terrible experiences during the Genocide. Aurora played herself
    in the film The Auction of Souls. Ambassador Henry Morgenthau played
    himself as the American Ambassador to Turkey, and famous film stars
    Irving Cummings and Anna Q. Nilsson were given major roles in the film.

    Only a piece of "The Auction of Souls" has been saved and now it is
    available on DVD with the new release of "Ravished Armenia: The real
    life story of Aurora Mardiganian."
