Ravished Armenia

Ravished Armenia is a book written in 1918 by Aurora Mardiganian about her experiences in the Armenian genocide. It records the brutal rapes and murders of the Armenian people by the forces of the old Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1918. The book, also known as Auction of Souls, was first published in 1918, shortly after Aurora Mardiganian's arrival in the United States. It was subsequently filmed in 1919, and both the book and the movie created a considerable stir.
