Presentation by Khatchig Mouradian (Columbia), author of Resistance Network: The Armenian Genocide and Humanitarianism in Ottoman Syria, 1915-1918

The Resistance Network is the history of an underground network of humanitarians, missionaries, and diplomats in Ottoman Syria who helped save the lives of thousands during the Armenian Genocide.
