“Before me stands the incarnation of infinite, inexpressible suffering. An eternal flame burns in the center of a wide circle, perpetuating that day of horror. Facing the monument is a man, alone and weeping, trembling with emotion. He has come to pay tribute to his parents.

Thanks to the courage of those who lent Armenians a helping hand 100 years ago, many of those who survived (and their descendants) have gone on to leave their own mark on the world. The contributions Armenians have made to humanity range far and wide. Here are some examples (in no particular order) of but a few great Armenian men and women whose achievements were made possible by the fine gestures of those who decided to become saviors a century ago.
