Murad Gumen, the Turkish-American author of the attached famous Micky Mouse cartoon is infamous for his part time job - he is the covert webmaster of tallarmeniantale.com, a website that denies the destruction of over a million Christian Armenians by Ottoman Turks during World War I.
Gumen has been using the pseudo name “Holdwater” in denying the Armenian Genocide and comparing Armenians to rodents. Keeping his real identity secret for many years, Mr. Gumen is now in hot waters.
A Turkish professor of Armenian Genocide, Taner Akcam, is the hunter of Mr. Gumen. Prof. Akcam, author of recent best seller on the Armenian Genocide, was repeatedly called “terrorist” in Mr. Gumen’s website leading to a 4-hour detention of the Turkish historian during a recent trip to Canada.
Prof. Akcam, a long time human rights activist now in exile from his native Turkey, apparently did not endure the personal attacks against him. He did what an average historian would do: go after the documents and sources used on the racist website.
File six in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Institutional Archives, Accession no. 1997-014, box 152 was the answer. This was a personal communication that “Holdwater” made reference to not realizing it was public domain. Making reference to “Holdwater’s” xenophobia that he would lose his job if his identity were revealed, Prof. Akcam the “terrorist” used a nuclear bomb called revealing the truth.
And the truth is - “Holdwater” is Murad Gumen, a celebrity Turkish-American cartoonist and creator of “Wonderguy” (1993) with an unbelievably “wonderful” hate for the Armenian people and the tragedy called genocide that they experienced in 1915.
Taner Akcam’s two articles on Holdwater in English is available at www.blogian.net.
