The League of Nations' Rescue of Armenian Genocide Survivors and the Making of Modern Humanitarianism, 1920–1927

Keith David Watenpaugh · 2010

Catalogue summary

Watenpaugh uses League of Nations Rescue Home intake surveys from Aleppo to examine the rescue of Armenian women and children after the genocide. He places this work within the League's larger postwar humanitarian project and its political setting in the eastern Mediterranean.

Why this matters

It connects survivor records to the making of interwar humanitarianism while keeping the institutional and colonial tensions of that response in view.
