1 standalone book

Aurora Mardiganian (1901–1994) was an Armenian-American author, actress, and a survivor of the Armenian genocide. Arriving in the United States as a teenager, she co-wrote a 1918 book about her experience, Ravished Armenia, and played the title role in a 1919 silent film based on the book, Auction of Souls. Most of the film is now lost, and an animated documentary about her life, Aurora's Sunrise, was released in 2022.
