Marsovan 1915: The Diaries of Bertha Morley edited by Hilmar Kaiser & published by Gomidas Institute, Ann Arbor, 2000. [MISSIONARIES & ARMENIAN GENOCIDE] Description: 89 pages including index. Few b/w photo plates. Softcover binding, appears unread. Gift quality. "Marsovan 1915" is a critical edition of the diaries of Bertha Morley, an American music teacher in Marsovan (near Kharpert). It is a blow-by-blow account of the Armenian Genocide in Marsovan between April and September 1915. Editor Hilmar Kaiser notes that the diaries, which were written for Morley's own private purposes, record the systematic disintegration of the Marsovan Armenian community: the arrest of Armenian community intellectuals, the methodical deportation of the rest of the population, and the eventual destruction of deportees. Morley narrates how Armenian property was plundered by Ottoman local and central officials and how Armenian women and children converted and were absorbed into Muslim households. She also testifies to the efforts of Ottoman authorities to conceal their criminal activities.
