Turkey / Armenia: Poster for the film 'Ravished Armenia' (aka 'Auction of Souls') by Arshaluys Aurora Mardiganian, 1918

Ravished Armenia, full title Ravished Armenia; the Story of Aurora Mardiganian, the Christian Girl, Who Survived the Great Massacres is a book written in 1918 by Arshaluys (Aurora) Mardiganian about her experiences in the Armenian Genocide.

A Hollywood film based on it was filmed in 1919 under the title Auction of Souls (which also became to be known as Ravished Armenia, based on the book it was adapted from). All known complete copies of the film have since been lost, but Mardiganian's account is still in print.
