Artificial limb No. 2:
Franz Werfel's novel THE FORTY DAYS OF MUSA DAGH
A bestseller serves as a fake bible
What means the word "B IB L E "? Undoubted above all
"the sacred book o f Christianity". But it means also "any
book or collection o f writings constituting the sacred text
of a religion", and, at the same time, "any book consid­
ered authoritative in its field". Unfortunately it concerns
also W erfel's "Forty Days o f Musa Dagh".
By the way, it's one o f the most macabre after-wits, a
paradox in history that the word "bible" origins from
ancient Phoenicia's Byblos from where the papyros was
exported; a seaport-town not far from a place called
"Musa Dagh", theatre o f events which never had hap­
pened in the way as described by Armenian forgers and
their victim and tool Franz Werfel.
There is hardly another book in world-literature which
has brought so many misunderstandings and so much
mischief to a nation as W erfels's "40 Days", with the pos­
sible exception o f "The Elders o f Zion", which brought so
much misery over the world o f the Jews.
Franz Werfel, born 1890 in Prague, Bohemia, one o f the most
beautiful towns o f Austria-Hungary, was in his best years -
when he wrote his novel "The forty d ay s..." which
appeared 1933, ju st the time when A dolf Hitler, his absurd,
deserting Austrian compatriot took over power in Germany.
Werfel's unique, great novel humilated into a primitive
Sex&Crime-story by Caroll&Graf Publishers. Whips,
brutality’, deportation, minaretts in the background, heroic
gestures... nothing is forgotten to impress the potential
reader: Turks are criminals, Armenian innocent heroes.
Not one word about the fact that this Edition has been
robbed o f its sensitive Historical passages. The reader is
the victim o f a fraudsince he is never made aware that he
is buying an edition from which the most significant passages
have been cut.
This is, however, confirmation o f the fact that those
behind this censorship - the Armenian Mafia - know fu ll
well that Werfel was taken in by publications like those o f
Morgenthau, Pastor Lepsius, Andonian and others.

The Protestant Churches, so long and so hard fighting for
a Protestant Armenian Republic in Eastern Anatolia
willingly joined this devilish party. They failed. Anyhow:
some fifteen years later they reached a new starting point
in their work against Turkey and the Turks.
With W erfel's masterpiece "The 40 Days" an absolutely
unique new standard was reached: perfect poetic art
combined with perfectly presented biassed historical constructions.
Flardly any reader considered the fact that nowhere in the
Ottoman Empire the Armenians had a majority. And the
fact that a historic landscape named "Armenia" has
