Mavi Kitap'ı oluşturan belgeleri toplamak ve karşılaştırmalarını yapmak aylarımı aldı. Yayımlandıktan sonra da kitapta anlatılanlar uzun süre aklımdan çıkmadı. Hiç durmaksızın düşüncelerimi meşgul eden yalnızca kurbanların çektiği acılar ve canilerin işlediği suçlar değil, aynı zamanda insanların, bu soykırım faillerinin yaptıklarını nasıl yapabildiği sorusuydu. [Ermeni Soykırımı] üzerinde yaptığım çalısma ... Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nda Nazilerin çok daha geniş çapta ve çok daha büyük bir soğukkanlılıkla işlediği soykırım suçunun bile silemediği izler bıraktı belleğimde.Özel ya da kamusal alanda olsun, kişisel ya da kişisel olmayan nitelikte olsun, işlenmiş her büyük suç, milliyetle sınırlandırılamayacak bir sorunu ortaya koyar. Bu, bizi insan doğasının derinliklerine götüren bir sorundur. 1915 yılında Türkiye'de yapılan soykırım bana 'Ilk Günah' gerçeğini yeniden hatırlattı -Arnold Toynbee, Acquaintances (Oxford, 1967)
