Georgetown Boys

Good to see this info page posted on the Georgetown Ontario site about the Georgetown Boys, who were Armenian orphans rescued by Canadians after the Armenian Genocide. When I wrote Aram’s Choice and Call Me Aram, it took quite a bit of sleuthing to gather the information. Now a lot of it is available online. Nicely done! The Georgetown boys were brought to Canada on July 1, 1923 and they represent Canada’s first international humanitarian effort. An all too timely piece of history, alas.

I write historical fiction, mostly from the perspective of young people who are thrust in the midst of war.
