- This monograph recounts five centuries of Jewish-Turkish relations, and investigates why Turkish Jews and their historians abroad have denied the genocide of the Armenians. The first such English-language study, it draws on a wide range of pre-modern and modern primary sources in Ottoman Turkish, Turkish, Hebrew, Judeo-Spanish, Portuguese, and French. It embodies over four years of research since 2015 (including translation) and writing. By analysing interreligious relations, Holocaust denial, genocide and ethnic cleansing, and by confronting longstanding stereotypes, it tells a new history that goes against Turkish antisemitism and admits to the Armenian genocide.
