“Breath is God’s gift. Life is our reward. The rest is up to us.”
Thea Halo, Not Even My Name: A True Story

“Not only were the young Turks unaware of their past, but the Turkish Government was “buying history” at American universities by giving them large endowments to keep its barbaric past from the American university agenda—a past filled with such atrocities that it had inspired Hitler. “Who remembers the Armenians?” Hitler had asked to justify his slaughter of the Jews and other designated enemies of the state. Indeed. And who even knew the Pontic Greeks ever existed?”
Thea Halo, Not Even My Name: A True Story

“I couldn’t tell what my mother was feeling. I only knew that I felt as if I had found some precious, mysterious thing I could never name, but that I had searched for my entire life, and now it was finally within reach.”
Thea Halo, Not Even My Name: A True Story
