Abstract

In 1921, six years after the extermination of the Armenian peoples in Turkey, an Armenian survivor by the name of Soghomon Tehlirian murdered former Ottoman Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha on the streets of Berlin. The Grand Vizier had been instrumental in the genocide committed against the Armenian peoples, a genocide Tehlirian had witnessed (and survived) firsthand. What followed was a two-day trial in which Tehlirian was acquitted. Students in this lesson participate in a mock trial of Tehlirian. Students are assigned different roles: witnesses, attorneys, court personnel, and jury members. After going through testimonies and managing the evidence, students must decide if the assassination of Talaat Pasha is justified.
