The Armenian Genocide

Friday (April 24th) was the 100th anniversary of the start of the Armenian genocide.

I am currently reading "The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response," by Peter Balakian.

I am also planning on reading the noted 1933 novel about the genocide, "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh," by Franz Werfel.
