A beautiful symmetry that this story of the influence on the world of a #refugee of the #ArmenianGenocide— turned proud Canadian🇨🇦— is told by our foreign minister @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social’s equally talented homonym: @anitaanand.bsky.social!

Brilliant recounting by @willdalrymple.bsky.social + @anitaanand.bsky.social of a great 🇨🇦 story, too: as we fête the #RoaringLion ‘s return to #Ottawa, a gift
to share the refugee origins of the great #YousufKarsh —a story of empire, resilience, the power of art, and the promise of #Canada! Merci✨

Who was Karsh and how did he become one of the most famous portrait photographers of the 20th century?

How did Karsh escape from the Armenian Genocide as a child?

What was the story behind these famous shots?
