Assassins, Spies, and Survivors: Interview w/Prof. Marian M. MacCurdy | Hollywood & History Ep. 12

This week we talk with Marian Mesrobian MacCurdy, professor of writing and literature at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, about her grandfather's role in Operation Nemesis, the top-secret campaign to take out key leaders of the Ottoman Committee of Union and Progress government in the aftermath of World War I for their role in orchestrating the Armenian Genocide.

Professor MacCurdy tells us about her grandfather Aaron Sachaklian's role in helping to finance and train individual Armenians to scour all over Europe and hunt down those responsible for carrying out the massacres and deportations of the Armenians.

She explains how this small yet tight-knit group, against all odds, was able to plan the logistics of such an ambitious program.
