Elizabeth Kuenzler in the picture with the orphans
BY HARRY BOGHOSSIAN
I have had the good fortune to be friends with a remarkable woman by the name of Elibet Kuenzler Marshall. She was born on June 19, 1917 in Urfa, Turkey. She is the daughter of Dr. Jacob Kuenzler.
Dr. Kuenzler reminds me of Oskar Schindler, who saved almost 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust. Dr. Kuenzler did his best to save 8,000 Armenian orphans during the Armenian genocide from the regions of Urfa, Mardin, Diyarbakir, Harput, Kemaliyeh, Arabkir, and Malatya.
Dr. Jacob Kuenzler
Dr. Kuenzler was, a Swiss doctor who wrote the book: “In the Land of Blood and Tears.â€
