A postcard from 1914 that Jean writes to his wife before being sent to the front.
Also, a great picture of a great city.

Today in Labor History April 24, 1915: The Turkish government arrested 250 Armenian intellectuals in Istanbul. This marked the beginning of the Armenian genocide. The Ottomans went on to slaughter over 1.5 million Armenians from 1915-1917, or 90% of the Armenian population. The genocide also destroyed two thousand year’s-worth of Armenian civilization in Asian Minor. The U.S. Congress did not officially recognize the Armenian genocide until 2019. Israel didn’t recognize it until 2025. Today, April 24, is now recognized as Armenian Genocide Memorial Day. In 1997, the Council of Armenian-American Organizations of Northern California (CAAONC), a coalition of over 30 Armenian-American Organizations, purchased the cross on top of Mount Davidson, the highest peak in San Francisco (928 feet). The cross, which is visible throughout the city (at least when the city isn’t socked in with pea soup fog) has been recognized as a memorial to the Armenian Genocide ever since.

Today In Labor History April 9, 1930: The IWW organized the 1700-member crew of the Leviathan, the world’s largest ship. Originally a German passenger ship, the U.S. seized it in 1917, during World War I, when it was docked in New York harbor. The U.S. subsequently used it to transport its troops to Europe. In September, 1918, the Leviathan left New Jersey, filled with men dying from Influenza. Dozens perished from the flu on the passage over.
