Home Author Archive Dear Reader Notes Get AuthorBuzz Info Margaret Ahnert Dear Librarian, I wrote THE KNOCK AT THE DOOR to tell the story of how my mother survived the Armenian genocide and came to America. I wanted to take readers beyond the statistics and add a human voice to the discussion of the horrific events that led to the deaths of over one million Armenians starting in 1915. Publishers Weekly called the book “a frank and searing testimony,” and Robert Morgenthau, grandson of Henry Morgenthau, Sr., the US Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during the Genocide, said, “THE KNOCK AT THE DOOR is an inspired, beautifully written chronicle of one of the worst eras in human history. Had such books been written long ago, another Holocaust, which followed 25 years later, might never have happened.” I hope you will visit my website, www.margaretahnert.com, to read an excerpt and see what others have said about the book.
