Alma Johansson


Alma Johansson was a Swedish missionary who worked in the city of Mush in the Ottoman Empire. She saw children and women tortured, beaten and killed, and testified about those crimes to German and American diplomats in hopes that the Western countries would put an end to the violence. Johansson also described her experiences in a book titled "A People in Exile: One Year in the Life of the Armenians," which was translated into Armenian and French.
