Houshamadyan presents an extensive new article dedicated to the history of the branch of the Ashekian/Bakalian/Bohdjelian family that settled in Romania. We have previously published articles that explore the history of other branches of this family, which hailed from Kayseri/Gesaria, that settled in Lebanon and Istanbul.
The author of this article is Anny Bakalian, who has spent years reconstructing her family’s history and reviving its memories.
This family’s history is a chronicle of deportations, wars, and violence. Unfortunately, we live in troubled times, and many families around the world are currently experiencing the same calamities.
What’s most inspiring about the decades-long tribulations of this family is their resolve to survive the misfortunes they faced and to continue living.
