Original Note:
The photo is from the 1919 silent film Auction of Souls/Armenia Ravished, based on Aurora Mardiganian's account, a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. The genocide, which began on 1915, was carried out by the Young Turks, a political group in the Ottoman Empire. https://horizonweekly.ca/en/before-ravished-armenia/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Auction_of_Souls_(1919)_-_Ad_8.jpg https://youtu.be/uTnCaW-Uo_s?feature=shared&t=1309 https://www.britannica.com/event/Armenian-Genocide/Genocide
