The Finnish-Swedish historian @SvanteLundgren says that even if no more evidence of the genocide survived, Alma's letters alone would be enough. These letters are kept in the Stockholm archive, but Swedish government, the 4th in row denies the genocide.

For some reason, I think that Alma Johansson loved the ancient Armenian duduk. And today this instrument sounded in memory and honor of her near her grave.
