1935 Amnesia Takes Armenian Back

BOSTON An unusual manifestation of amnesia, carrying its victim
back fifty-two years to the spot where he first found shelter when
he landed in the United States as an Armenian immigrant boy, was
disclosed on the return of Moses Gulesian to his home in Newton,
Mass., a suburb of Boston. In the interval Mr. Gulesian, now 71,
through thrift and industry had amassed a fortune by dealing Boston
real estate and had become one of this city’s important adopted sons.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
