PanARMENIAN.Net - The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation
released a book by professor of psychology at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, Ervin Staub, featuring a comparative analysis
of Armenian Genocide, Holocaust and genocide in Cambodia.
"The genocide of the Armenians is the first modern genocide. Turkey
and the Turks have never admitted that it happened. The say it was
self-defense, the deportation of an internal enemy in time of war. For
this reason alone, the Armenian genocide deserves attention. There are
other important differences between the Holocaust and this genocide.
The Holocaust made use of bureaucratic management and advanced
technology in the framework of a totalitarian system," the book says.
"The genocide of the Armenians was less planned, with limited
bureaucratic organization and very little advanced technology in its
execution. Paradoxically, in this highly technological age, we are
horrified by the non-technological brutality," the professor notes.
