LibriVox recording of Martyred Armenia, by Fa'iz El-Ghusein.
Read by Margaret Espaillat.

This is a first hand account of the Armenian Genocide written by a Syrian who had been a Turkish official for three and a half years. His accounts tell of the worst of humanity, and also of the noblest. The noble include families who courageously support each other in the face of death, and Turks who refuse to follow orders to kill, knowing that they shall be executed themselves for their defiance.
The genocide occurred just before and during World War I, and estimates as to the number of people murdered range from one to one and a half million. (Introduction by Margaret)

Subject: Important subject, superb reader.

I complete agree with the previous review. This is a sad horrific episode in human history. The reader is calm, steady and yet with understated emotion. She has my utmost respect in recording this in a professional manner.

Subject: Crucial historical document

This is an important historical document and a very significant addition to the Librivox collection. It records an appalling case of genocide which many have no inkling of. The reader deserves the utmost credit for making it available.
