lang=EN-GB>An unknown number of young Armenians survived the massacres of 1915
as adopted daughters and sons of Muslim families. Fewer others became wives and,
in exceptional cases, husbands. While some of these survivors (particularly
young men) re-united with their families or relatives in later years, or were
taken into orphanages by missionaries and relief workers, many others lived the
rest of their lives as “Muslims,” taking on Turkish, Kurdish, or Arabic names.
Until recently, the stories of these survivors have been silenced, either in the
form of total erasure or of serious trivialization by all historiographies.
