Tehlirian, a survivor of the Armenian Genocide and subsequent member of a group of Armenian assassins called Operation Nemesis, held Taalat Pasha responsible for the deaths of his family because it was the Grand Vizir who decreed that all Armenians should be relocated and disposed of. This animation attempts to illustrate specific moments that Tehlirian addressed in his testimony related to his personal experience as well as the overwhelmingly emotional nature associated with the experience of genocide, survival, revenge, and heroism.
