How does it affect the offspring of the survivors? And<br /> how do survivors and their families retain a belief in justice when atrocities go unpunished?<br /> These questions are addressed in Jerry M. Burger's novel, <em>The Shadows of 1915</em>. The story<br /> takes place in Central California in 1953, where Armenian immigrants and their families live<br /> one generation removed from the 1915 murder of more than a million Armenians at the hands<br /> of the Turkish government. An encounter between the sons of a genocide survivor and some<br /> Turkish college students forces each of the main characters to make difficult decisions that pit<br /> loyalty to family and community against personal and legal standards of right and wrong. It is<br /> a story about a displaced group of people and the consequences of real historic events that<br /> have rarely been examined in fiction. It is also a story about culture, family, recovery from<br /> tragedy, and the nature of justice.</p>
