An account of the genocide against Assyrians in 1915 The Assyrian genocide is one of the forgotten atrocities of the 20th century. The physical destruction was but one element; it also caused demographic shifts, loss of territory, generational trauma and linguicide, along with cultural genocide/ethnocide and identity erosion. This text is one of the few surviving eyewitness sources, from a seminarian living in greater Tur Abdin (the southeast of today's Turkish state). The perspective is one that is little known and less discussed. Its translation and original annotation by a master of Syriac with an in-depth knowledge of modern Assyrian history creates a unique opportunity for new and progressive scholarship.
