Résumé
--
The town of Mardin is situated today in south-east Turkey, on the frontier of the Kurdistan plateau and the Mesopotamian plain. It was to this place that Father Jacques Rhétoré, with two other Dominicans, Fathers Simon and Berré, members of the Dominican mission of Mossoul, were deported by the Turks in 1914. It was there that they witnessed, in 1915 and 1916, the massacre of Christians, Armenians, Catholic and Jacobite Syrians, Chaldeans, Nestorians and Protestants. Father Rhétoré's narrative is at the same time an objective and precise account of that tragic episode and a deeply moving martyrology. This exceptional document is being published at a time in our history when topical events have once again put the names Mossoul, Kurdistan and Turkey on the front pages of our newspapers when the relations between Islam and Christianity remain strained and the progressive disappearance of Christians in the Middle East is continuing relentlessly.
