Armenian Genocide
I would like to
refer to your review of the book: "The History of Armenian
Genocide, Ethnic Conflict from the Balkans to Anatolia to
the Caucasus" by Vahakan N. Dadrian, in the Scribe issue No:
69 April 1998, page 33.
Many Armenian
refugees arrived to Iraq after the Armenian Tragedy in World
War I.
The Jews of Baghdad
were sensitive of their condition. The Jewish notable, Mr
Menahem Saleh Daniel, contributed in the year 1927 a valuable
plot of land in the centre of Baghdad to build a school for
the Armenian Refugees in Iraq.
That generous
man allocated also a sum of ten thousand English Sterling
pound to erect the building.
We the Babylonian
Jews may be proud of that human deed.
Tel-Aviv
Dr. Shaul Sehayik
When France recently
criticised Turkey for the 1915 Armenian Genocide, Turkey retorted
: How dare you mention that, after what you did to the French
Jews in the last War.
