Wiesel called the genocide of the Armenians during the First World
War 'the Holocaust before the Holocaust'. Around one and a half
million Armenians - men, women and children - were slaughtered at
the time of the First World War. This book outlines some of the
historical facts and consequences of the massacres but sees it as
its main objective to present the Armenians to the foreign reader,
their history but also their lives and achievements in the present
that finds most Armenians dispersed throughout the world. 3000
years after their appearance in history, 1700 years after adopting
Christianity and almost 90 years after the greatest catastrophe in
their history, these 50 'biographical sketches of intellectuals,
artists, journalists, and others...produce a complicated
kaleidoscope of a divided but lively people that is trying once
again, to rediscover its ethnic coherence. Armenian civilization
does not consist solely of stories about a far-off past, but also
of traditions and a national conscience suggestive of a future that
will transcend the present. - from the Preface by Yehuda Bauer.
