Mariam Avoyan, born in 1901, Bitlis Vilayet, Turkey, held up a wedding image of herself and her husband, while her daughter stood behind her. "I remember the massacres. Armenians and Turks lived in peace until then, but afterwards ? 5- and 6-year-old children witnessed a whole genocide. They took us Armenians ? man, woman, child, young and old ? to a large and open space and began. "They poured gasoline on people and burnt them. There was smoke and soot, the nauseating smell filled the air. The sky grew dark. People turned to ash in the fire. Thousands of corpses lay in that field. I was lying under dead people, not making a sound. There was the shadow of a man right in front of me. He was firing through the smoke at those who had remained alive. The Turkish soldiers waited until the last person was burned, and then they left. We finally managed to get to Armenia, to Talin. I got married, had six children, my young husband went to the war and never returned."
