In the summer of 1915 Tsolag Dildilian and his family converted to Islam and adopted Turkish identity as a condition for remaining in their hometown of Marzovan (Merzifon) in north central Turkey. One of many “hidden Armenians,” they

postured as Muslim Turks in public but lived their Armenian Christian identity at home. In so doing they were able to rescue and hide significant numbers of young Armenian men and women during the Genocide. Dr. Marsoobian tells the story using

family memoirs, letters, and scores of historic photographs.
