From the Armenian Genocide Collection: Levon Giridlian

Discover some of the testimonies in USC Shoah Foundation's Armenian Genocide Collection.

Levon Giridlian was just 10 years old when he saw 2,500 friends, family members, and neighbors massacred and thrown into a mass ditch.

It was 1895, and he was in his hometown of Kayseri, Turkey. Giridlian, however, was not a Turk but rather an Armenian. The killings later became known as the Hamidian massacres, a chilling precursor to the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
