From a dream: I am running down a dirt road, and I am in the next “color” photo. I see very clearly three young boys hung dead on their front porch. The youngest boy has on a bright blue shirt. In the distance, I see flames. I think the Armenian quarter is on fire. I’m so frightened, I wake up.
After this dream, I did some research. I found out that if any Turks were found to be hiding or helping Armenians, the entire family would be hung in front of their house. Many Armenian quarters were burned. My mother told me my grandmother said all the Armenian Church records were burned.
