  abstract: When the Turkish government demanded the cancellation of all lectures on the Armenian Genocide at Israel's First International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide, and that Armenian lecturers not be allowed to participate, the Israeli government followed suit. This book follows the author's gutsy campaign against his government and his quest to successfully hold the conference in the face of censorship. A political whodunit based on previously secret Israel Foreign Ministry cables, this book investigates Israel's overall tragically unjust relationship to genocides of other peoples. The book also closely examines the figures of Elie Wiesel and Shimon Peres in their interference with the recognition of other peoples' genocidal tragedies, particularly the Armenian Genocide. Additional chapters by three prominent leaders-a Turk (Ragip Zarakolu), an Armenian (Richard Hovannisian), and a Jew (Michael Berenbaum)-provide added perspectives.
  table of contents: Preface: One is either for human life or not -- Foreword : Who really lied? The Turks, Armenians, and Jews revisited / Yair Auron -- Introduction: Summary: The "good guys" (Israel) turn out to be the bigger liars -- The first international conference on the Holocaust and genocide in June 1982 in Tel Aviv was a milestone event on many levels -- The conference really did take place and very meaningfully -- What was Elie Wiesel's real position about the Armenians and about addressing the genocides of many non-Jewish peoples alongside the Holocaust? -- Critique : How should we have handled the threats to Jewish lives? -- Israel's tragically immoral denials of, and indifference to, the genocides of other peoples -- Israel's denial-concealment of the cruelty, genocidal expulsions, and massacres of arabs in the nonetheless entirely just war of independence: A striking chapter of the universal challenge to all peoples to respect and protect life -- A contemporary Armenian : The Armenian Genocide and extreme denial / Richard G. Hovannisian -- A contemporary Jew : The Armenian Genocide, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Israel / Michael Berenbaum -- Israel's continuing denial of the Armenian Genocide -- Highlights of the story of the first institute on genocide in the world / Marc I.
