Peter B A L A K I A N - Black Dog of Fate: The Forgotten Armenian
Genocide
Peter Balakian recently spoke at Tufts University at an event
remembering the Armenian genocide carried out by Turkey in 1915. It
wasn't until Balakian was in his mid-20s that he learned his own
grandmother was a survivor of the Turkish extermination. She lost her
husband, aunts, siblings, nieces, and nephews during the forced march
into the Syrian Desert. There was no international outcry against the
genocide, no interference from world powers, and--afterward--no
recompense for the survivors. In his novel "Black Dog of Fate", from
which he read passages, Balakian recounts his own awakening to the
horrors perpetrated on his people, demanding that the Turkish
government formally acknowledge the massacres.
