The Hundred-Year Walk at Tenement Talks

Award-winning investigative journalist Dawn Anahid MacKeen spent over a decade writing the story of her grandfather, Stepan, and his escape from the deadly mass deportation of Armenians during World War I. Longing for a fuller picture of his life, she traveled to Turkey and Syria, using her grandfather's newly discovered journals as a guide, to reconstruct his journey to the far reaches of the Ottoman Empire. Part reportage, part memoir, The Hundred -ear Walk: An Armenian Odyssey alternates between Stepan's tale of resilience and Dawn's remarkable journey, giving us a rare eyewitness account of the twentieth century's first large-scale genocide.

New Yorker staff writer Raffi Khatchadourian joins Dawn in conversation and Nancy Kricorian, author of All the Light There Was,  introduces the evening.
