Franz Werfel (1890-1945)
The Austrian writer was born in Prague and served in the Austro-Hungarian army both on the Russian front and in the press office, but was charged with treason for his vocal pacifism. He was already an established author, but his true claim to international fame came in 1933, when he published "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh", a chilling novel which first drew world attention to the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Turks. In 1941 He released The Song of Bernadette.


 

Paruyr Sevak (1924-1971)
Sevak is one of the most famous Armenian poets. He has many poems dedicated to the Genocide. Among his well known poems about the genocide are "The Unsilenceable Bell House" (Anlrreli Zangakatoun), "Trio Mass" (Yerradzayn Patarak) and "We Are Few But We Are Armenian" (Menk Kich enk). 


 

Hovhannes Shiraz (1915-1984)
