GENDER DISTINCTION IN THE GENOCIDAL PROCESS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE ARMENIAN CASE

ELIZ SANASARIAN

University of Southern California Los Angeles

Men were instantaneously killed and women and children were deported. However, members of both sexes acted as perpetrators and collaborators. Few men and women acted as rescuers.
