On April 24, 1915, the Ottoman Empire began a systematic campaign to completely erase the Armenian people from the earth. 1.5 million innocent men, women, and children were ruthlessly slaughtered for refusing to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. It was the first genocide of the modern age—the one that taught future dictators the world would simply look away. But the world underestimated the fighting spirit of the first Christian nation. In this powerful documentary short, we explore one of the darkest days in human history and the miraculous survival of the Armenian people. Discover the incredible true story of the civilians who held Musa Dagh against an entire army, how a 24-year-old survivor's revenge in Berlin directly led to the creation of the word "genocide", and how the descendants of the survivors went on to change the world through medicine, technology, and art. We also address the heartbreaking reality of history repeating itself with the 2023 ethnic cleansing of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and why Michael Franzese chose the unbreakable nation of Armenia for his wine.

I LOVE THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE THAT HAVE TOUCHED MY LIFE. FAMOUS CHEF ANTHONY BOUDAINE WAS ARMENIAN. A YEAR OR MORE BEFORE HE PASSED HE AND HIS BROTHER WENT BACK THERE. GREAT VIDEO, MICHEAL. I DID LEARN A FEW THINGS. THATS GOOD!! NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN. MAYBE SOME DAY THE FIGHTING WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!! I PRAY 🙏 ALL THE TIME FOR THEM ALL.
Greeks went through the same thing along with Armenians under the same oppressor

Sri Lankan expat residing in Paris thanks you Michael for this eye opening video😊my first encounter with an Armanian was maestro Charles Aznavour,who was the permanent deligate to UNESCO,the next was the best school friend Anush of my daughter.Though heard of the Armanian genocide,never knew that it could happen a second time as recent as 2023.Has the UN,of late,become just a stage for the powerful member states, to debate while hiding their crimes?Thanks to voices like your's to shed some light on these crimes.Stay strong,continue to educate us.GOD bless 🙌🏽

Instead of hiding it, Turkey needs to confront its history by officially acknowledging the crime against humanity, the "Genocide', that resulted in the killing of 1.5 million Armenians in Western Armenia.
GOD Bless Armenian. Inspiring video. Truly Inspiring. 🇦🇲 You are the epitome of Hope and Hope.
Genoside is continuing till now for Armenians. Same countries are still killing Armenians.
