A Lecture by Hilmar Kaiser:
"The Extermination of Armenians in the Diarbekir Region"
Sunday, March 29, 2015
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Adele & Haig Der Manuelian Galleries, 3rd floor
Hilmar Kaiser
"The Extermination of Armenians in the Diarbekir Region"
The lecture and slide presentation will introduce a new study on
Diarbekir in 1915 and present substantial new findings from the
Ottoman archives in Istanbul. For the first time, an order authorizing
mass-murder of Armenians will be presented. Moreover, the research on
Diarbekir has authenticated two documents from the post-war Ottoman
courts martial which were believed to have been lost. New light will
shed on the resistance against the genocide and the murder of Abidin
Nesimi Bey who condemned the atrocities.
Hilmar Kaiser received his Ph. D. from the European University
Institute, Florence, Italy. His research focuses on late Ottoman
social and economic history. He has published numerous studies
including "Genocide at the Twilight of the Ottoman Empire", in, Donald
Bloxham and A. Dirk Moses (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Genocide
Studies, Oxford University Press, Oxford, New York, NY, 2010;
"Regional resistance to central government policies: Ahmed Djemal
Pasha, the governors of Aleppo, and Armenian deportees in the spring
and summer of 1915."
Light refreshments will be served
