Abstract

Der Orientalist und evangelische Theologe Johannes Lepsius (1858-1926) trat seit den systematischen Massakern (1894-96) an Armeniern im Osmanischen Reich als bedeutender Unterstützer der Verfolgten hervor. Ein von ihm bzw. seiner Deutschen Orient-Mission mitbegründetes Hilfswerk und seine publizistische Tätigkeit zielten auf eine breitangelegte Hilfe für die bedrohten Armenier. J. Lepsius setzte sich im Ersten Weltkrieg auch für eine deutsche Intervention zur Verhinderung des Genozids an den Armeniern im Osmanischen Reich ein. Nach dem Scheitern dieser Bemühungen alarmierte er die internationale Öffentlichkeit durch zahlreiche Interviews und Publikationen. Daneben unterstützte er weiterhin Überlebende über sein Hilfswerk, das nach seinem Tod von seiner Missionsgesellschaft noch beinahe weitere zwei Jahrzehnte ununterbrochen fortgeführt wurde. Die umfassende Darstellung basiert auf zahlreichen neuerschlossenen Quellen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der publizistischen Tätigkeit von Lepsius und seinen Mitarbeiter/innen, die einerseits darauf abzielte, den Völkermord abzuwenden, andererseits auch die Öffentlichkeit in Deutschland und Europa über die Lage der Armenier zu informieren und zu Hilfsaktionen zur Rettung von Überlebenden der Todesmärsche und Massaker zu mobilisieren.

Abstract

A Turk’s discovery that Armenians once thrived in his hometown leads to a groundbreaking investigation into the local dynamics of genocide. Ümit Kurt, born and raised in Gaziantep, Turkey, was astonished to learn that his hometown once had a large and active Armenian community. The Armenian presence in Aintab, the city’s name during the Ottoman period, had not only been destroyed—it had been replaced. To every appearance, Gaziantep was a typical Turkish city. Kurt digs into the details of the Armenian dispossession that produced the homogeneously Turkish city in which he grew up. In particular, he examines the population that gained from ethnic cleansing. Records of land confiscation and population transfer demonstrate just how much new wealth became available when the prosperous Armenians—who were active in manufacturing, agricultural production, and trade—were ejected. Although the official rationale for the removal of the Armenians was that the group posed a threat of rebellion, Kurt shows that the prospect of material gain was a key motivator of support for the Armenian genocide among the local Muslim gentry and the Turkish public. Those who benefited most—provincial elites, wealthy landowners, state officials, and merchants who accumulated Armenian capital—in turn financed the nationalist movement that brought the modern Turkish republic into being. The economic elite of Aintab was thus reconstituted along both ethnic and political lines. The Armenians of Aintab draws on primary sources from Armenian, Ottoman, Turkish, British, and French archives, as well as memoirs, personal papers, oral accounts, and newly discovered property-liquidation records. Together they provide an invaluable account of genocide at ground level.

Abstract

As Stefan Ihrig shows in this first comprehensive study, many Germans sympathized with the Ottomans’ longstanding repression of the Armenians and with the Turks’ program of extermination during World War I. In the Nazis’ version of history, the Armenian Genocide was justifiable because it had made possible the astonishing rise of the New Turkey.
