CARAVANS TO OBLIVION"It is absolutely necessary to eliminate the Armenian people in its entirety so that there is no further Armenian on this earth and the very concept of Armenia is extinguished"From a speech presented to the Turkish Committee of Union and Progress February 1915Acclaimed author and historian G S Graber has crafted a searing narrative of "the forgotten genocide" Using newly available sources Graber offers definitive proofdenied even today by the Turkish governmentthat there was nothing less than a centrally organized government attempt to systematically eliminate the Armenian population in 1915Placing the events of this effort within a broader historical context the author brings insight and perspective to the political economic and cultural upheaval that led to the murder of over one million Armenian men women and children Firsthand accounts recall the climate that ignited the flames of anti-Armenian sentiment as the Ottoman Empire collapsed and a new leadership emerged The political party of the Young Turks Ittihad ve Teraki (the Turkish Committee of Union and Progress) espoused the notion of Turanism a mythic glorification of Turkish ethnic identity and was devoted to restoring Turkey's shattered national pride And even though Armenians had distinguished themselves as productive and loyal citizens in times of peace and able-bodied soldiers in times of war they were now branded as traitorous enemies destroying Turkey from withinThe tragic fate of the Armenian people would be sealed by the political maneuvering of foreign powers eager to capitalize on the fall of the Ottoman Empire during World War I Graber examines how and why the Westprincipally France and Great Britainwas eager to look the other way Following a pattern that the engineers of modern genocide would repeat time and time again the Turks systematically gathered Armenian men and used them as slave labor before executing them en masse The women and children were then packed into caravans for "relocation" Most would die along the way from disease and exposure Those who survived would be shot on some arid plain which would become their final destinationThe slaughter of the Armenians and the diplomatic backsliding that precipitated it would serve as an all-too-efficient blueprint In the twentieth century genocides decimated over 119 million people worldwide84 million more than the number who died in both world wars and all the revolutions and civil wars fought in this century combined More than a compelling chronicle Caravans to Oblivion offers chilling insight into how genocide happens

This book presents the Turkish position regarding the Armenian claims of genocide during World War I and the continuing debate over this issueThe author illustrates that although genocide is a useful concept to describe such evil events as the Jewish Holocaust in World War II and Rwanda in the 1990s the term has also been overused misused and therefore trivialized by many different groups seeking to demonize their antagonists and win sympathetic approbation for them This book includes the Armenians in this category because although as many as 600000 of them died during World War I it was neither a premeditated policy perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish government nor an event unilaterally implemented without cause Of course in no way does this excuse the horrible excesses that were committed To illustrate this point this book uses the recent work of the noted French scholar Jacques Semelin and such long-suppressed Armenian personalities as Hovhannes Katchaznouni (the first prime minister of Armenia after WWI) and KS Papazian (an historian) among others This book also illustrates how today Armenians have sought to politicize and legislate their version of history in parliamentary and other governmental bodies around the world damning their opponents as genocide deniers and perpetrators of hate speech The case of the renowned scholar Bernard Lewis is a prime example of this Armenian misuse and distortion of their politicized version of history This book also analyzes the hypermobilized Armenian lobbying tactics that have achieved considerable success in politicizing their version of history Among many other issues this book also analyzes the recent soccer diplomacy between Turkey and Armenia which has led to their signing treaties that will establish diplomatic relations between them and an historical commission to analyze their different versions of history

The Banality of Denial: Israel and the Armenian Genocide
ISBN: 076580834X Binding: Paperback Edition: Author(s): Yair Auron Publisher: Transaction Publishers Number of Pages: 338
The Banality of Denial examines the attitudes of the State of Israel and its leading institutions toward the Armenian Genocide Israel's view of this issue has special significance and deserves an attentive study as it is a country composed of a people who were victims of the Holocaust The Banality of Denial seeks both to examine the passive indifferent Israeli attitude towards the Armenian Genocide and to explore active Israeli measures to undermine attempts at safeguarding the memory of the Armenian victims of the Turkish persecution
Such an inquiry into attempts at denial by Israeli institutions and leading figures of Israel's political security academic and Holocaust "memory-preservation" elite has not merely an academic significance It has considerable political relevance both symbolic and tangible
In The Banality of Denial--as in Auron's previous work--moral philosophical and theoretical questions are of paramount importance Because no previous studies have dealt with these issues or similar ones an original methodology is employed to analye the subject with regard to four domains: political educational media and academic
"This new book describes Israeli attitudes toward the phenomenon of genocide in general including Biafra Tibet the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda Taken together with Auron's earlier book The Banality of Indifference both works offer an opportunity to explore a subject of great contemporary relevance"--The Armenian Weekly
"Auron has written a well-informed very enlightening and courageous book Chapters on how Israeli media high school and university education and research treat--or decline to discuss--the Armenian genocide are exemplary Because the study of genocides and related violationsis an increasingly important part of high school and university curricula this is a timely and indispensable book"--Choice
Yair Auron is senior lecturer at The Open University of Israel and the Kibbutim College of Education He is the author of numerous articles and books on genocide and on contemporary Judaism including Jewish-Israeli Identity and We Are All German Jews: Jewish Radicals in France During the Sixties and Seventies
