According to official statistics there are 33 Genocide survivors living in Armenia today. They are, of course, very old and memory mostly fails them, but they remain beautiful and strong at heart. Most of them have children, grand children and even great grandchildren and live with their families, who owe their lives to these elders’ struggle and ultimate survival. In the fall of 2014 renowned photographers Diana Markosian and Karen Mirzoyan have had the honor and privilege of being allowed into their homes to photograph the lives the survivors and their families lead today especially for the 100 LIVES initiative. On the eve of the Genocide’s 100th anniversary we bring you ten poignant photo essays about the strength and courage it takes to survive.
