|  | The Christian Minorities in Turkey by Wilhelm Baum
Spurred on by the question of whether Turkey should be given full membership to the European Union, Baum raises the specter of the massacre and torture of Eastern Christians in this nation. A cursory history of Turkey up to the nineteenth century is given, and this is supplemented by a detailed account of massacres of Christians during World War I and the reactions of the rest of the world to these religiously motivated killings. The situation is traced up through the War in Cyprus until 1974 and then, briefly, to the modern period. |

The Baqubah Refugee Camp was located 33 miles northeast of Baghdad, in Baqubah. Assyrians were relocated here between 1918 and 1920 when they were forced to leave their homeland; in 1933 they were massacred by the Iraqi government. This book gives a detailed picture of the refugee camp by Brigadier General H. H. Austin, Commandant of the Refugee Camp. After giving a detailed background of the events that led to the formation of the camp, Austin details the camp’s organization and daily life. The book also discusses the work of the “Assyrian Contingent” that was formed in the camp.
British officer Brigadier General H. H. Austin commanded the Bakuba Refugee Camp. During his tenure with the British army, he commanded two surveys in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Lake Rudolf (between 1899 and 1901) as well as other explorations in Africa.
