About This Book
"The genocide of Armenians by Turks during the First World War was one of the most horrendous deeds of modern times and a precursor of the genocidal acts that have marked the rest of the twentieth century. Despite the worldwide attention the atrocities received at the time, the massacre has not remained a part of the world's historical consciousness.
The parallels between the Jewish and Armenian situations and the reactions of the Jewish community in Palestine (the Yishuv) to the Armenian genocide are explored by Yair Auron.".
"While not denying the uniqueness of the Holocaust, Auron carefully distinguishes it from the Armenian genocide, reviewing existing theories and relating Armenian and Jewish experience to ongoing issues of politics and identity. The Banality of Indifference will be read by Armenian area specialists, historians of Zionism and Israel, and students of genocide."--BOOK JACKET.
