 | | The Assyrian Tragedy, “Livre anonyme, 1934 fevrier Annemasse”, is a rare documentary on the national struggle of the Assyrian nation prior, during and after World War I. We believe the author of the book was Mar Eshai Shimun XXIII, a Cambridge University graduate and Patriarch of the Church of the East. |
 | | Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, religious, political, or ethnic group. The word, from the Greek genos, meaning “race”, “nation”, or “tribe”, and the Latin cide, meaning “killing”, was named after events in Europe in 1933—45 called for a legal concept to describe the deliberate destruction of large groups. |
 | | Currently, the Assyrians are religiously and ethnically persecuted in the Middle East due to Islamic fundamentalism and Arabization, leading to land expropriations and forced emigration to the West. |
