Gorky is a genius Armenian-American artist and a Martyr among the Arminian

GENOCIDE , one of 1,5 million victims ,although his end was not immediate but

he left his agonising eternal art as a painful testomony of his nation's suffering .

Good. Very good. Brian has always raved about that book-Black Dog of Fate. Years ago, when I lived in NYC, my friends were mostly Armenian. So I learned so much of their terrible history. This was in Washington Heights. They had a little community there which centered around a beautiful church. Val

very good work John, especially the end, I have a handful of armenian friends, and they have taught me of the genocide, which I otherwise did not know about, I greatly appreciate your work and look forward to your progression as a filmmaker, a fan and summer Sea Isle native, for over 40 years, presently a CE student at pafa, and I love all those wonderful students you showcased in the beginning, they are great, they are all great, I love pafa,

cestudent, Joann
