Description
Arsen Arzumanyan - Armenian Orphanage of Strunga. Testimonies of Broken Destinies
Armenian Orphanage of Strunga, Testimonies of Broken Destinies by Arsen Arzumanyan, a correspondent for Ararat magazine in Bucharest and a Doctor of Political Science, is a comprehensive study of the remarkable history of the Armenian orphanage in Strunga village, Romania. This work is unique in its research sources, utilizing the orphanage archives and hundreds of articles from Armenian periodicals published in Bucharest, which cover the establishment, operation, and liquidation of the orphanage. Many of these periodicals were rediscovered and preserved solely in Romania. Although the orphanage, which sheltered 200 children who survived the Genocide, operated for a short period from 1923 to 1926, it left an indelible mark on the memory of Romanian Armenians. The book delves into the establishment of the Armenian Orphanage of Strunga, its daily life, and the numerous events surrounding it, including the disagreements within the Romanian-Armenian community about the orphanage's future. The fates of several children and other touching stories are intricately woven into the narrative, offering a deeply moving experience for readers. At the end of the book, a register of the orphanage is presented, complete with pictures and personal information of the children.
