Exhibition dedicated to “Forty Days of Musa Dagh” opens in YerevanApril 16, 2013 - 19:32 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute and National library are organizing an exhibition dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the first edition of Austrian writer Franz Werfel’s “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh” novel. “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh” is a 1933 novel based on true events that took place in 1915, during the second year of World War I and at the beginning of the Armenian Genocide. The novel achieved great international success and has been credited with awakening the world to the evidence of the persecution and partial destruction of the Armenian nation during World War I. It also foreshadows the Holocaust of World War II due in part to the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, which paralleled the novel's creation. Genocide Museum-Institute issued a gold medal dedicated to Franz Werfel.
