The 20th century opened with an event that has been considered the
template for the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews: the deportation and
murder of as many as 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turks during
World War I. Yet while the Holocaust conjures up a host of images in
our minds, we have no similar familiarity with the Armenian murders
(which most serious observers agree fit the definition of genocide)
nor the even less-known massacres of Armenians in the 1890's and in
1909. As Peter Balakian puts it in "The Burning Tigris," they form a
"narrative lost to the public."
