The Concentration Camps of the Armenian Genocide

Armenian Genocide studies has avoided or neglected the topic of concentration camps. Therefore, this book provides a new lens through which to understand the horrors of 1915–1916. The period of what has become known as the second phase of the genocide — roughly after 1915, once the majority of Armenian victims had been deported to the Syrian deserts and incarcerated in camps — has not been investigated as thoroughly as in this work. As someone who has written a book on the Armenian Genocide, I learned enormous amounts and was saddened, not only by the tragic stories in this collection of excellent essays, but by the fact that I did not have this work to use in my 2015 book. -- Ronald Grigor Suny, Professor Emeritus, University of Michigan, USA
This edited volume is a tour de force that manages to produce fresh empirical insights through deep archival investigation and unique oral histories, as well as generate new analytical perspectives by taking a comparative perspective on the wretched topic of concentration camps in the Armenian Genocide. * Ugur Ümit Üngör, Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Amsterdam and the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust, and Genocide Studies, the Netherlands *
