User review:
When Hitler ordered his death units to “exterminate without mercy or pity men, women, and children belonging to the Polish-speaking race,” he was confident that the world would overlook the mass murder. “After all,” he asked rhetorically on the eve of the 1939 invasion of Poland, “who remembers the massacres of the Armenians?”
When Jews of Warsaw Ghetto stood against the Nazis, their source of inspiration was Prague-born Jewish writer Franz Werfel’s “THE FORTY DAYS OF MUSA DAGH”, the 1933 novel whose graphic depiction of the Armenian plight which later shaped a generation in Israel.
A MUST see movie for every Jew and Armenian and for everyone who wants to create a better world without “Man’s inhumanity to man” into the 21st century. ARMENIAN GENOCIDE marked the first genocide of the century we left behind. We all can learn something from this movie.

This is “hard stuff”! Thanks for sharing!
The (fictional) rape scene reminds a little bit on “The Prince of Tides”…
Fully agree Franz Josef. I was so concerned I wanted to know if it was true. The look of desolation on the boy’s face seemingly knowing what was instore for him was very moving.
Apparently the person of Stephen was the adolescent son of one of the leaders of the rebellion, and he was murdered but the rape is not mentioned in the couple of historical accounts I could find.
Jeff, you’re right – in Werfel’s book the boy is shot as a traitor. There are also some other scenes different from the book due to (typical American) over-dramatisation…
All is fair in Love and War!
The Boy was just a pawn in the battle!
