Descendants of survivors at Armenian Genocide Museum search for parents in photos

Toros Tadevosyan's children tried to find their father in the group photos of children dressed in identical clothes in the section of the Armenian Genocide Museum's exhibition dedicated to Armenian orphans. Along with hundreds of Armenian children who survived the Genocide, Toros Tadevosyan ended up in the Antura orphanage, 15 kilometers from Beirut, which was opened specifically for Armenian orphans by order of Cemal Pasha. By his order, the Turkish writer, feminist and pan-Turkist Halide Khanum undertook the forced conversion and Turkification of Armenian children. Despite the efforts of the Turks, many of the children retained their native language and religion.
