Dear Mr. Antourian,
I read with interest your article about the Ottoman WWI Internees from
Brantford and would like to clarify some of the points you've made. I am
indeed a member of the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
In addition to the five novels I have written about the Armenian
Genocide and the Georgetown Boys, I have written books about the
internment of Ukrainians in WWI (my grandfather was an internee and my
book Silver Threads was the first commercial book to ever be written on
this topic). I also have written about the Holodomor, and have received
hate mail and death threats for doing so.I do not shy away from difficult historical topics.
