  Musa Dagh
By the time the Armenians of the six villages at the base of Musa Dagh were instructed to evict their homes, the inhabitants had grown suspicious of the government's ultimate intentions and chose instead to retreat up the mountain and to defy the evacuation order.
Musa Dagh, or the Mountain of Moses, stood on the Mediterranean Sea south of the coastal town of Alexandretta (modern-day Iskenderun) and west of ancient Antioch.
Musa Dagh stood as the sole instance where the Western Allies at war with the Ottomans averted the death of a community during the Armenian Genocide.

 The Forty Days of Musa Dagh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Forty Days of Musa Dagh is a 1933 novel by Austrian-Jewish author Franz Werfel based around an event that supposedly took place on Musa Mountain in 1915 during the Armenian Genocide in Turkey.
Werfel also wrote prophetically about the consequences of Nazi anti-Semitism, and The Forty Days of Musa Dagh was one of the books banned in Nazi Germany in February of 1934, according to the §7 of the Decree of the Reich President for the protection of people and state.
Musa Dagh often has been compared with the resistances in the Jewish ghettos during the Second World War, one of those, the ghetto of Bialystok found itself in the same situation when in February 1943, Mordecai Tannenbaum, an “inmate” of the Vilna Ghetto was sent with others to organize Bialystok's resistance.

 HyeEtch - Armenian Genocide - Personal Experiences
It is against this background of suffering that there was a brief beacon of light - the rescue of the people of Musa Dagh (the Mountain of Moses), situated in the southern part of Armenian Cilicia, on the coast of the Eastern Mediterranean (in what is today the Turkish province of Hatay).
There were 6 villages of Musa Dagh, and these lay west of the mountain.
The people from the villages of Musa Dagh were eventually settled in a camp, which has become a village, at Ainjar, close to the Lebanese-Syrian border and just off the main road.

Recently, however, Armenians in Beirut honored his memory by a ceremony in which Rev. Andreassian¹s remains were re-interred in the courtyard of the Armenian Evangelical Church of Ainjar, Lebanon, home for the expatriates of Musa Dagh and their descendants; his stone bust was also erected in the courtyard of the nearby St. Boghos church.
Dikran Andreassian was born in 1888, in the Musa Dagh region, in the village of Yoghoun-Olouk, Turkey.
He was emphatic on one point - that the self defense of Musa Dagh was the joint venture of the population in the area, meaning that no single political party or individual should claim credit for the successful conclusion of that battle of liberation.

 Usanogh Discussion Board : "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh" by Franz Werfel
I would like to mention that i read this book when i was 10 years old, and to this day i remember the names of the characters and the whole story in terms of how it unfolded, what happened and the rest of the details as they were presented in the book.
My mum's family is from Musa Ler and there are to this day lots of Armenian villages in that region, cultivating apple orchards etc. It's a very beautiful green mountainous place.
Put any proper pressure, like in the case of the married couple in the story of Musa Ler (life-threatening or less) and the whole thing will crumble because at the end of the day for non-Armenians an Armenian identity is a matter of choice.

 "Armenian Diaspora" by Turkish - Armenians: "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The thousands who occupied the summit of Moussa Dagh for 40 days escaped by descending the mountain by a secret exit fronting oil the Mediterranean, while the Ottoman armies were besieging the front of that mountain.
The truth is that the entire insurrection of Musa Dagh was well prepared by the Armenians and the Entente.
In that sense the "40 Days of Musa Dagh“ is not a bible, but a pamphlet, finally not better than Hitler’s "Mein Kampf“.

He tells the story of a handful of men being deported to the Syrian desert who - by courage of despair - manage to escape to the mountain Musa Dagh (which means "mountain of Moses") and resisting the flabberghasted superior Turkish soldiers for forty days, until they were discovered and rescued by french war-ships.
This book tells the story of the resistance of Armenians in Syria to the turkish genocidal campaign during World War I. Particularly chilling is the interview of the german pastor with the turkish dictator, where every logical argument is twisted on its ear.
Deswegen ist das Bemühen Werfels, den Genozid an den Armeniern in einem spannend zu lesenden Roman der Leserschaft, insbesondere der Jugend, nahe zu bringen, auch heute immer noch verdienstvoll.

 The Forty Days Of Musa Dagh, Reviewed by Seymour Goldberg
He paints so graphic a picture of the plight of the oppressed people, torn from their homes, deprived of their possessions, and forced to march, that the reader can almost hear the wails of the hapless people, who knew only too well what was in store for them.
Werfel deals with the persecution of the whole race in general, but specifically, he tells of the heroic stand made by several thousand Armenians on the heights of Musa Dagh, a mountain near Antioch, in Syria.
It leaves the reader horror-stricken at man's cruelty to his fellow man, but thankful that fortunately, in other parts of the world, there is so much done to alleviate rather than cause suffering.

This Hans Werfel novel, written in 1933, is about a band of Armenians, 5000 strong, that defend themselves against persecution by the Turks during WWI.
Indeed an anomaly, since the Young Turks' plot to innihalate Armenians was executed virtually unchallenged, making the battles of Musa Dagh all the more heroic.
While the Armenian Genocide is as much an undeniable fact as the sky is blue, this novel was written as a fiction and was not meant to serve as an historical report.

Als Franz Werfel sich Anfang des Jahres 1930 in Damaskus aufhielt, welches mittlerweile zum französisch verwalteten Syrien gehörte, begegnete er verstümmelten armenischen Waisenkindern, dies erschütterte ihn derart, dass er den Entschluss fasste, den Abwehrkampf und das Elend des armenischen Volkes festzuhalten.
Sein Buch erzählt die Geschichte von dem Armenier Gabriel Bagradian, dem Enkel eines in der Umgebung des Musa Dagh (ein Berg südlich des Golfes von Alexandrette in der Nähe des antiken Antiochia, heute Antakye.) sehr geachteten Mannes, nämlich Awetis Bagradian, dem Begründer eines bekannten Stambuler Welthauses mit Niederlassungen in Paris, London und New York.

 Cuarenta días del Musa Dagh, Los - Franz Werfel
Inspirada en hechos reales, Los cuarenta días del Musa Dagh narra el exterminio de los armenios a manos del imperio otomano -después del holocausto judío, el más cruel y sistemático intento por acabar con un pueblo en el siglo pasado-.
El crimen ominoso, sin embargo, presenta un lado épico en la resistencia que durante el verano de 1915 mantienen los 5.000 habitantes armenios de las aldeas alrededor del Musa Dagh -el Monte de Moisés-, a orillas del Mediterráneo.
El drama de la familia Bagradian -choque de culturas que llevan a la disgregación del matrimonio y el enfrentamiento con el hijo, búsqueda imposible de la propia identidad, incomprensión del "otro", persecución de la diferencia- se cruza con la tragedia nacional y religiosa de todo un pueblo perseguido.
