Infants Placed In Hot Ovens And Burnt Alive By Turks, Says American Missionary

American Missionary Rev. E.A. Yarrow reports, “It is not enough for Turks to kill and maim, but the manner in which they put to death helpless non-combatants – women and children – is past understanding. […] As an instance of their fiendish methoads, they left scores of babies to be burned alive in ovens under which raging fires had been built.” The infants had been wrnched from the arms of their helpless mothers, who were draffed away with the fleeing Turks at the approach of the Russian Army.” The Cincinnati Enquirer (OH), 02/20/1916. #ArmenianGenocide #GenocideDiary
