Beyond the Pale of Civilization: The Legacy of the
Circassian Genocide

The head of the executed man thought, saw, suffered. And I saw what he saw, understood what he thought, and felt what he suffered. How long did it last? Three minutes, they told me. The executed man must have thought: three hundred years. What the man killed in this way suffers, no human language can express.
— Antoine Wiertz, Thoughts and Visions of a Severed Head (1853)
