In the capital city of Istanbul. and other Armenian centers of the Ottoman Empire were rounded up by the Ottoman authorities. taken to isolated areas and summarily executed. Then United States Ambassador to Turkey. Henry Morgenthau. a witness to the genocide. described these deportations with the following words. "When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations. they were giving the death warrant to a whole race. they understood this well. and in their conversations with me. they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact." We must recognize these crimes against human!ty if we are ever to put a stop to the cycle of genocide that has plagued the 20th century. Silence. In the face of such Inhumanity. only encourages those who commit such atrocities.
