A conversation with Alexa Karabin
“I was really, really close to my grandmother,” Karabin says. “She had a fascinating history. She was born in Turkey during the Armenian genocide. She was Armenian. She came to the United States in 1920. She was just one of the best humans I’ve ever met. I was enthralled with her history, because the Armenian genocide was denied for many decades and it haunted her people because they came from such a terrible situation, and to be told that it didn’t happen - it was very haunting.”
