WATERTOWN -- The Armenian Museum of America presents a Lecture by
Hilmar Kaiser titled "The Extermination of Armenians in the Diarbekir
Region". The event will be held on Sunday, March 29, 2015 2:00 PM -
4:00 PM at Adele & Haig Der Manuelian Galleries of the museum.
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."
