Local Author Shares Mother's Armenian Genocide Story

Kay Mouradian's 'A Gift in the Sunlight' is featured on Pasadena Daily Photo Wednesday.

As a child growing up in Boston, South Pas resident Kay Mouradian wasn't very interested in her mother's stories about living in Turkey during World War I.

It wasn't until many years later that she became horrifically enthralled with the cruelty inflicted on the Turkish Armenians during that time. This is the story Mouradian shared with Pasadena Daily Photo (hosted by Petrea Burchard) Wednesday.

"I AM MY MOTHER’S VOICE and her story is being made into a documentary...an Armenian Ann Frank story!" she writes.
