DIANA APCAR

Works

After her son took over the family business in Japan, Apcar had more time to concentrate on her humanitarian, literary, and public activities. She started working with numerous journals and newspapers such as The Japan Advertiser, The Far East, The Japan gazette, and Armenia (later to be known as New Armenia). She focused much of her literature on the oppressed and their circumstances. Diana wrote about the Armenian plight in the Ottoman Empire in order to raise global awareness. By 1920 Diana had written nine books, seven of which addressed the Armenian Question and Armenian Genocide.

She also wrote many articles on international relations and the impact of imperialism on world affairs and global peace.

The Stateless Diplomat

A great-granddaughter of Diana Apcar, Mimi Malayan, found a box of her writings in 2004 and began researching her life. In 2018 she completed a documentary film The Stateless Diplomat, drawing on previously unpublished writings. She also established a website making available many of Apcar's publications www.dianaapcar.org
