Your Brother’s Blood Cries Out
was one of the most
powerful popular accounts about the Armenian Genocide
published in continental Europe during World War I.
It was written as a trilogy between 1915-18. The author was a Danish
national whose Armenian husband was one of the victims
of the Genocide. The first story of this
trilogy was written while the author was living in Constantinople and came
out in five editions in Denmark. The trilogy was eventually translated into
Swedish, Dutch and French, and it appeared as a
single book, Your Brother’s Blood Cries Out.
In her presentation, Dr. Rowe will discuss her work on
Your Brother’s Blood Cries Out
and the use of
literature for our understanding of modern Armenian history.
Inga Nalbandian (nee Inga Henrietta Lucinde Collins)
became active in the European feminist movement and cooperated with
Henni Forchhammer, the Danish delegate to the League of Nations, in
promoting assistance to the survivors of the Armenian Genocide.
Your Brother’s Blood Cries Out
was translated and introduced by Dr. Victoria Rowe.
She is the author of A History of Armenian Women’s Writing:
1880-1922 (forthcoming 2nd
edition, Gomidas Institute, 2007). She currently teaches at Chuo University,
Tokyo, Japan.
