On April 24, 1915, Grigoris Balakian was arrested along with some 250 other leaders of Constantinople�s Armenian community. It was the beginning of the Ottoman Empire�s systematic attempt to eliminate the Armenian people from Turkey�a campaign that continued through World War I and the fall of the empire. Over the next four years, Balakian would bear witness to a seemingly endless caravan of blood, surviving to recount his miraculous escape and expose the atrocities that led to over a million deaths. Armenian Golgotha is Balakian�s devastating eyewitness account�a haunting reminder of the first modern genocide and a controversial historical document that is destined to become a classic of survivor literature.
