The plot of this book, initially planned as a purely documentary piece, is based on the brief stories told by the author’s husband family and relatives. It finally took shape after two years of collecting the materials and documents necessary to start. This is a story of the grand-grand father of the author’s daughters, a story about the stunningly unfair life of a man who, by the will of fate, had found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. He would become one of the 2,506,780 names listed on the website “Immortal Barracks”, each with their own unique story. Author collected all the stories and memories of eyewitnesses, looked through the archives, sorted the photographs, and spent sleepless nights to put everything together, polishing, honing, and considering every word.
This book is about each of us, and George is a collective image of everyone who survived the Genocide. This is a book about the fate of the entire Armenian people, whose children are uprooted trees scattered all over the world – some have survived, while others were less fortunate.
