Remembrance and Denial
A fresh look at the forgotten genocide of world history.
Frère arménien, frère juif, frère tutsi - Les combats d'une vie
L'autobiographie d'un homme engagé, chirurgien et militant devenu, en quarante années, éminent historien et gardien de la mémoire des génocides du XXe siècle : Arméniens (1915), Juifs (1941-1944), Tutsis (1994)... Un siècle, trois génocides Jeune chirurgien, Yves Ternon se voit demander par la fédération de France du FLN d'opérer les blessés algériens de la guerre triangulaire que se livrent OAS, gaullistes et indépendantistes. Cette irruption tragique de l'Histoire dans son quotidien va déterminer son engagement pour la justice et les droits de l'homme, mais aussi sa volonté d'établir la vérité des faits.Dès 1965, il entame des recherches qui le conduisent à publier tr...
Pioneers of Genocide Studies (Clt)
New areas of research are not the result of a snap of the finger. They are carved out of the marrow of human existence. The study of genocide well illustrates this raw fact. From the early efforts that emerged in the struggle against Nazism, and over the past half century, the field has now reached a point where there at least five genocide centers across the globe, and well over one hundred Holocaust centers. This work emerged out of an earlier effort at an oral history project; one that would enable a new generation of scholars, researchers and policy makers to assess the major foci of the field, efforts to develop ways and means to intervene and prevent future genocides, and review the su...
L'Etat criminel. Les génocides au XXe siècle
Le XXe siècle aura eu le triste privilège de connaître la barbarie organisée, administrée, étatisée - dont le génocide reste la variante la plus affreuse.Qu'est-ce qu'un génocide ? Cet essai n'est pas un catalogue de l'horreur. Il est d'abord une tentative d'intelligibilité face à l'«Etat criminel». On y trouve les faits sur les génocides et autres massacres «génocidaires», de la Shoah aux violences de Bosnie et du Rwanda. Plus profondément, Yves Ternon, en utilisant les outils des différents spécialistes des sciences humaines, s'efforce de rendre raison du phénomène qui hante notre histoire contemporaine.
The Righteous and People of Conscience of the Armenian Genocide
This book tells the stories of the Muslims, Christians, Jews and others who made a courageous stand against the mass slaughter of Ottoman Armenians in 1915, the first modern genocide. Foreigners and Ottomans alike ran considerable risks to bear witness and rescue victims, sometimes sacrificing their lives. Diplomats, humanitarians, missionaries, lawyers and other visitors to the Empire stood up, including Tolstoy's daughter, Alexandra; Raphael Lemkin, the jurist who first established genocide as an international crime; and the polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who recognized and relieved the plight of stateless Armenian refugees. Ottoman subjects--from officials and officers to ordinary townspeople and villagers--faced near-certain death for their entire family by resisting orders and helping Armenians. Unlike the Righteous of the Holocaust, these heroes have been systematically ignored and erased--a major injustice. Based on fresh research, and hoping to repay a moral debt to Ottoman Muslims who braved everything to rescue the authors' forebears, this book is an important, moving testament to a grievously overlooked aspect of the Armenian tragedy.
The Armenian Cause

Death, War, and Sacrifice
One of the world's leading specialists in Indo-European religion and society, Bruce Lincoln expresses in these essays his severe doubts about the existence of a much-hypothesized prototypical Indo-European religion. Written over fifteen years, the essays—six of them previously unpublished—fall into three parts. Part I deals with matters "Indo-European" in a relatively unproblematized way, exploring a set of haunting images that recur in descriptions of the Otherworld from many cultures. While Lincoln later rejects this methodology, these chapters remain the best available source of data for the topics they address. In Part II, Lincoln takes the data for each essay from a single culture a...
