The Horrors Of Aleppo...Seen By A German Eyewitness (1916) By Dr Martin Niepage
 
A very rare book describing the Armenian massacre by the Turkish forces by Dr. Martin Niepage who was a senior teacher at the German Technical School in Aleppo. Niepage was later sentenced to death in absentia by the Turkish government for publishing the account.
 
This was to become (apparently) the first popularly-published account in the West of the Armenian Genocide.  The pamphlet was published in 1916 and begins the story in 1915, getting quickly to the terror stories of chopped-off children's hands. 
 
“In April 1915 the Ottoman government embarked upon the systematic decimation of its civilian Armenian population. The persecutions continued with varying intensity until 1923 when the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist and was replaced by the Republic of Turkey. The Armenian population of the Ottoman state was reported at about two million in 1915. An estimated one million had perished by 1918, while hundreds of thousands had become homeless and stateless refugees. By 1923 virtually the entire Armenian population of Anatolian Turkey had disappeared.
