The persecution and suffering of the Armenian people a religious and cultural minority in the Ottoman Empire reached a peak in the era of World War I at the hands of the Turks Between 1915 and 1925 as many as 15 million Armenian men women and children died in Ottoman Turkey victims of execution starvation and death marches to the Syrian desertIn "Starving Armenians" Merrill Peterson explores the American response to these atrocities beginning with the initial reports to President Wilson from his Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Henry Morgenthau who described Turkey as "a place of horror" The West gradually began to take notice As the New York Times carried stories about the "slow massacre of a race" public outrage over this tragedy led to an unprecedented philanthropic crusade spearheaded by Near East Relief an organization rooted in Protestant missionary endeavors in the Near East and dedicated to saving the survivors of the first genocide of the twentieth century The book also addresses the Armenian aspirations for an independent republic under American auspices; these hopes went unfulfilled in the peacemaking after the war and ended altogether when Armenia was absorbed into the Soviet UnionPart of a generation who were admonished as children to "remember the starving Armenians" Peterson went to Armenia in 1997 as a Peace Corps volunteer and became fascinated by the country's troubled history The extensive research he embarked upon afterwards revealed not only the scope of the people's hardship and amazing resilience; it located in the American effort to help the Armenians a unique perspective on our own nation's experience of the twentieth century "Starving Armenians" is an eloquent narrative of an all but forgotten part of that experience

In this book the author demonstrates the need not only for remembrance but first and foremost for the acknowledgement of genocides from government level downwards Only by taking adequate steps at personal group national and international levels to acknowledge such massacresand the trauma they createcan humankind attempt to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again By documenting the psychological effects of the forgotten Armenian genocide and by linking these effects to cross-generational trauma and processes of response and denial this book sheds light from a psychoanalytic perspective on an insufficiently researched aspect of this genocide
