Hair's Breadth from Death

Bag om Hair's Breadth from Death

This is the memoir of a child survivor of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. His work describes life in the old country (ethnography), the mass murder of Armenians in 1915 (Genocide), his survival for six years among his victimisers, and then his escape to Iran. Wishing to join his brothers in the US, he was barred from entering the USA because of immigration quotas. He therefore settled in Mexico and eventually entered the USA by crossing the border illegally and settling in Los Angeles.
