Dawn MacKeen's grandfather, Stepan Miskjian, survived the Armenian genocide – a story that hinged on the hospitality of an Arab Muslim family that took in Miskjian as he wandering through Syria, starving and in rags. MacKeen traveled to meet the descendants of the family who saved her grandfather's life, and then realized that the story had come full circle. Today, a grandson of that Syrian family is himself seeking refuge. From 2017.
