This book makes Aram Andonian's The Great Crime available for English language readers. The Great Crime served as the first systematic documentation of the Armenian Genocide, introducing the memoir of an Ottoman bureaucrat that contained handwritten copies of approximately 52 Ottoman documents, including direct orders to kill Armenians. It therefore holds immense historical significance, as it provides irrefutable evidence of the Armenian Genocide using original Ottoman documents.In 1983, the Turkish government published a book claiming that Andonian’s work was fraudulent by presenting three main arguments: 1. That the Ottoman bureaucrat named did not exist; 2. A non-existent person cannot have a memoir and, if it exists, you must show the handwritten manuscripts; 3. The allegedly fake telegrams have 12 different reasons for their inauthenticity. Based on these arguments, Andonian’s book and the official Ottoman documents it contained were discredited as a historical source. Taner Akçam's previous book with Palgrave Macmillan, Killing Orders, was a response to the Turkish government’s attempt to discredit Andonian’s book and documents, and rehabilitated their status as valuable materials in the study of the Armenian Genocide.The Great Crime stands as an immortal testament to historical truth, and this version of it includes a detailed preface written by Akçam, incorporating his new findings and information that has come to light since the publication of Killing Orders, along with additional explanatory notes.

While Armenian genocide recognition efforts have generated significant international attention, the parallel experiences of Greeks and Assyrians remain largely unknown or overlooked. This book presents the first comprehensive comparative analysis of how Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians have campaigned for genocide recognition in Australia. In an original contribution to genocide studies, Themistocles Kritikakos examines the enduring legacies of the genocides they suffered in the late Ottoman Empire (1914–1923). The study broadens our understanding of genocide during this period and its aftermath, making a meaningful intervention in debates surrounding recognition and prevention.Australia provides a distinctive case study where national narratives of reconciliation with Turkey around Gallipoli are in tension with genocide recognition campaigns, despite well-documented Australian eyewitness accounts, reports, and humanitarian relief efforts to support survivors.Drawing upon extensive oral interviews with descendants of survivors and research in memory and genocide studies, the book explores the intergenerational effects of silence, forgetting, and memories of violence and displacement within families and communities in the diaspora. It examines commemorative practices, sites of memory, and coalition-building among the three diasporic communities.Kritikakos sheds new light on how traumatic experiences are processed and negotiated across time and space. This study demonstrates how communities that once remembered their histories separately have created new forms of remembrance that strengthen their pursuit of recognition in contemporary Australia.

Drawing upon the voices of the individuals and families who lived during this time, together with new archival documentation, Ilana Offenberger reconstructs the daily lives of Vienna’s Jews from Anschluss in March 1938 through the entire Nazi occupation and the eventual dissolution of the Jewish community of Vienna.
