 Survivors
: An Oral History of the Armenian Genocide by
Lorna Touryan Miller, Donald Eugene Miller
Between
1915 and 1923, over one million Armenians died, victims
of a genocidal campaign that is still denied by the Turkish
government. Thousands of other Armenians suffered torture,
brutality, deportation-yet their story has received scant
attention. Through interviews with a hundred elderly Armenians,
Donald and Lorna Miller give the "forgotten genocide"
the hearing it deserves. Survivors raises important
issues about genocide and about how people cope with traumatic
experience. Much here is wrenchingly painful, yet it also
speaks to the strength of the human spirit.
"A
superb work of scholarship and a deeply moving human document.
. . . A unique work, one that will serve truth, understanding,
and decency." -- Roger W. Smith, College of William
and Mary
