Summary
Between 1915 and 1923, over one million Armenians died, victims of a genocidal campaign. Thousands of other Armenians suffered torture, brutality, deportation. 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. --From publisher's description
