Abstract
The author of the article reveals that the editor-in-chief of Zartonk daily of Beirut, Kersam Aharonian (1916-1991) proposed to him in 1969 to co-author a memorial album dedicated to the Armenian Genocide. The author wrote 60 letters and received 40, and collected pictures from published magazines, books, photographs taken by Armin Wegner and others. Aharonian secretly got pictures from Soviet Armenia. All in all, 297 pictures were collected. The layout and cover of the proposed album were ready in 1971. But the final work was not accomplished, not for lack of funds, but due to the unstable political situation in Lebanon in May 1973 and, later on, the Civil War. The author of the article provides the plan of the memorial album and other relevant information.
The author then writes about the authenticity of the pictures from the time of the Genocide and mentions that German and Russian forces in Turkey took pictures of and filmed the massacres and the consequences of the massacres and that these were found in the German archives as well as Russian publications of the period. He then relates how the Armenian athlete Vahram S. Papazian, along with American journalist Herty, secured German documentary films of the Genocide, which were shown to the public in the UK and Belgium.
