In his autobiography. Morgenthau wrote of the ease with which the Ottoman Turkish authorities launched their extermination campaign. Morgenthau wrote: When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations. they were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race. they understood this well. and. in conversations with me. they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact. I have by no means told the most terrible details. for a complete narration of the sadistic orgies of which these Armenian men and women were the victims can never be printed in an American publication. Whatever crimes the most perverted instincts of the human mind can devise. and whatever refinements of persecutions and Injustice the most debased imagination can conceive. became the daily misfortunes of this devoted people.
