In the opening remarks, CMES Director Ronny Berndtsson emphasised the significance of the publication and the Centre's pride in supporting the project. He highlighted the importance of individual actions and noted that the book contributes to a deeper understanding of both the Armenian Genocide and the long-standing historical connections between Scandinavia and the Middle East.
Drawing on eyewitness accounts and first-hand testimonies, the volume places women, religion and transnational networks at the centre of humanitarian history. It also offers new perspectives on Nordic humanitarian engagement and explores how historical understanding can foster a broader sense of responsibility towards others.
Book published by Lund University Press.
