We do not compare numbers, we must not. We do say, over and over again, that genocide is part of the human psyche, its spectre resides in each of us. In Sacred Spaces, Barsamian confronts us with the first genocide of the last century. We examine this people and their murder, their survival. We are immersed in the themes of lace and language, victim and persecutor, death and survival.
Sadness is a normal reaction, anger also.
Barsamian makes us think. Let us hope that he leads us to action.
