Description

A short Christian Science Monitor note from September 1953 comments on mid-century terminology for East Syriac Christian refugees. It states that “Assyrian” was being used as a misapplied label that arose after World War I, when survivors of the Ottoman-era massacres fled to Iraq and were assisted under a League of Nations trusteeship supported by Britain, Iraq, and the League. The piece situates the naming issue within contemporary discussions of funding and politics surrounding refugee aid and associated publications.
