Henry Morgenthau, Sr.

Henry Morgenthau was a German-born American lawyer and businessman, best known for his role as the ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Morgenthau was one of the most prominent Americans who spoke about the Greek genocide and the Armenian genocide of which he stated, "I am firmly convinced that this is the greatest crime of the ages".

The great massacres and persecutions of the past seem almost insignificant when compared to the sufferings of the Armenian race in 1915.
