Retracing the footsteps of her grandparents, she travels through Turkey in search of her family history. She visits all the places of which her grandparents had spoken with love, but also with great sadness. Will she find any traces of her family and other Armenians? Gradually the pieces of the past and the memories of her grandparents fall into place. The picture formed gives her insights into the lives of her grandparents and connects her with her roots. With The Call of the Crane she fulfils her promise to her grandparents. Soon there will be no one left alive who survived the genocide and can talk about it. By capturing the memories of her grandparents she will prevent their experiences from dwindling into oblivion. Over de auteur Haygan Mardikjan There has never been any recognition of the actions endured by those who survived the Armenian Genocide. Her grandparents’ hope was that their grandchildren would see the recognition of the first genocide of the 20th century in their lifetimes: Not only for the Armenian people left to be able to work through the events and give them a place in their lives; but also for the current generation of Turks to be able to close a black page in the history of Turkey.
