Ah, sounds good, there is another book in the collection that is also great
about the Armanian holocaust, that is called
Forgotten Fire, one of my students recommended it, and kind of demanded it,
smile, and I got it to scan and just wow, it was a great book.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] The Road From Home
I am almost finished scanning The Road From Home: The Story of an
Armenian Girl by David Kherdian, which was the 1980 Newbery Honor Book. I hope
to have it done by Saturday night. It was a very good book.
The opening quote is so compelling, I know there are many here who will
enjoy the book.
September 16, 1916.--To the Government of Aleppo.
It was at first communicated to you that the government, by order of
the Jemiet, had decided to destroy completely all the Armenians living in
Turkey. . . . An end must be put to their existence, however criminal the
measures taken may be, and no regard must be paid to either age or sex nor to
conscientious scruples.
Minister of the Interior TALAAT PASHA
August 22, 1939.--I have given orders to my Death Units to exterminate
without mercy or pity men, women, and children belonging to the Polish-speaking
race. It is only in this manner that we can acquire the vital territory which
we need. After all, who remembers today the extermination of the Armenians?
