The person I researched was Hüsenig, Kharpert. He was about 7-8 when he experienced the Armenian genocide first hand. The picture looks uneasy as if he was surprised that his experience was happening and he may have been scared as well. When he was put in a pile and the men started jabbing the kids with their swords. He only got sliced on his cheek once and he was covered in blood so they couldn't tell that Kharpert was not dead. I think after the jabbing; Kharpert then got cleaned up and told his story and became a legend.
