In the spring of 1921, in Berlin, the Armenian Soghomon Tehlirian shot Mehmed Talaat Pasha, the former Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire and one of the initiators of the Armenian genocide of 1915, which claimed the lives of over...
a million people. At that time, no one knew that the assassin was not acting alone. Behind him stood a secret organization whose mission was to exact revenge on those responsible for the genocide. In honor of the Greek goddess of vengeance, the organization was named "Nemesis." Drawing on numerous historical sources, Eric Bogosian, an American playwright, director, and actor, a descendant of a genocide survivor, coldly and meticulously recreates the history of this secret organization. The story begins hundreds of years before the shot in Berlin, with the complex coexistence of Ottoman Turks and Armenians in Asia Minor, and stretches into modernity with its heavy political legacy.
Bogosian's book is both an exciting documentary thriller, a collection of testimonies about a horrific crime, and a reflection on the nature of violence, revenge, and memory.
