Memoirs of a Soldier about the Days of Tragedy
Author: Bedros Haroian
Publisher: Bookbaby
ISBN: 9781737555803
Category : HISTORY
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
The youth of Bedros Haroian prepared him for the life of a soldier. He grew up an orphan in a cold and half-destroyed house in a village of the Ottoman Empire at the dawn of the 20th century. He grew up in a despised and impoverished Christian community in the Ottoman Empire, which was the Caliphate and operating under Shari'a law. Those beginnings made Haroian a revolutionary. When W.W. I breaks out, Haroian will find himself serving in four armies. The Ottoman Army conscripts him, and he joins with zeal to gain martial skills, and he provides one of the only descriptions of a survivor of the defeat at the Battle of Sarikamish. He later escapes to join the Imperial Russian Army to help fight for the Armenians surviving the Genocide. He ends up serving in the British Army in Batum (a Black Sea port), At the end, Bedros Haroian joins the French Foreign Legion's auxiliary unit of Armenian Legionnaires to defend the Armenian survivors in Cilicia (bordering the Mediterranean Sea). History and horror--those two words describe Haroian's experience as a soldier. His memoirs provide on-the-ground details and insights into historical battles, ones that increase our understanding beyond the limits of official reports on these battles.--Publisher.

Betrayed Armenia
Author: Diana Agabeg Apcar
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
In 'Betrayed Armenia,' the Armenian writer and humanitarian Diana Abgar presented an accurate report of the Armenian massacres. The massacre took place in the Adana Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire in April 1909. The slaughter of Armenian Christians by Ottoman Muslims in the city of Adana amid the Ottoman countercoup of 1909 grew into a series of violent anti-Armenian riots throughout the province. As a result, approximately 20,000 to 25,000 people were killed in Adana and surrounding towns, mainly Armenians. In this valuable work, Abgar excellently describes the reasons for the inhumane killings, the evidence against the responsible parties, and many more unknown facts about the events. It's an insightful work and a must-read for anyone interested in knowing the history of Armenia.

Forbidden Music
Author: Michael Haas
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300154313
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
DIV With National Socialism's arrival in Germany in 1933, Jews dominated music more than virtually any other sector, making it the most important cultural front in the Nazi fight for German identity. This groundbreaking book looks at the Jewish composers and musicians banned by the Third Reich and the consequences for music throughout the rest of the twentieth century. Because Jewish musicians and composers were, by 1933, the principal conveyors of Germany’s historic traditions and the ideals of German culture, the isolation, exile and persecution of Jewish musicians by the Nazis became an act of musical self-mutilation. Michael Haas looks at the actual contribution of Jewish composers in Germany and Austria before 1933, at their increasingly precarious position in Nazi Europe, their forced emigration before and during the war, their ambivalent relationships with their countries of refuge, such as Britain and the United States and their contributions within the radically changed post-war music environment. /div
