1946 Book Raises Funds for Displaced Armenians

After World War II, there were thousands of Armenians liberated from German prisoner of war camps. We have several books in our collection that were published during this time period, telling the story of George Mardikian and the Armenian National Committee for Homeless Armenians (ANCHA). In one book published in 1946, we found a memo written to Dr. Aram Boghosian requesting that instead of sending payment, he should make a donation to one of the organizations assisting these refugees and displaced persons. Many of them were eventually resettled in other countries including the USA.
