About the Book

Written toward the end of his remarkable life, Autobiography & Recollections tells the story of Bedros Der Bedrossian who lived through some of the most turbulent and tragic episodes of modern human history. He was shot at by a Turkish sniper when he was just 10 years old and by the age of 11 he had already survived two massacres. Yet the worst was still to come. The Turks wiped out an estimated 1.5 million Armenians during the first genocide of the 20th century, which commenced in April 1915. Der Bedrossian describes how he lost all but a few members of his family in the Armenian Genocide; and how he and a young niece survived only because a Danish hospital administrator to whom he owed a debt insisted they remain in hiding in her home with several others. This is a riveting and heartbreaking tale of death and destruction; yet it is also a story of love, hope, perseverance, and survival. This book is an invaluable resource to historians and genocide scholars. Perhaps more importantly, by documenting the unfairness of life as a Christians in Muslim nations, it serves as a dire warning to a world currently grappling with the rise of Islamic extremism.
About the Author: Bedros Der Bedrossian was born in 1884 in Urfa, an ancient Armenian city that dates back to the 4th century. His father, a parish priest, passed away when young Bedros was just three years old. As a result, he was raised by his mother and older brothers. He joined the family business when he grew older and became a successful merchant. He also developed a fondness for education and intellectual debate. However, his world as he knew it came to an abrupt end when the Turks killed almost all of his loved ones during the Armenian Genocide. Forced to leave his ancestral homeland, he migrated to Aleppo, Syria and began a new life from scratch. Eventually, he managed to buy some land and earned a living leasing it out to farmers. In 1972, he and his wife Noyemzar followed their children who had migrated to the United States. Already in his late 80s, he taught himself English just so he could read the newspapers and keep up with world events. He spent the last years of his life writing his memoirs and living contently in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania surrounded by his wife, his five daughters, and their families. He passed away quietly in his sleep in 1980.
