This man needs to be remembered.
My moms family all came from Sivas/Sepastea, grew up with the brutal stories of what happened to em, hearing about different stories of growing up with having to learn about this stuff is great for someone who didn’t grow up around many other Armenians. Incredible podcast
Thank you for this episode <3 What a deeply inspiring badass

I also was raised by this guy's mom.
The balls on this man, he could have kept a whole photo album hidden under there.
