Synopsis

It is not widely known that after World War I, a series of trials took place to prosecute Ottomans connected with the Genocide. In this lecture, Dean Kalimniou takes us behind the personalities, the procedures and the perpetrators, in order to discover why, over a hundred years later, despite these trials, denialism of the Crime of Genocide still exists as well as how these court processes ultimately came to influence the Nuremberg Trials.
