Grace Knapp
Grace H. Knapp (21 November 1870 – 14 March 1953) was an American Christian missionary and teacher who served in the Ottoman Empire. During her time as a missionary, Knapp was a witness to the Armenian Genocide. During the Armenian Genocide, Knapp was stationed in Van and eventually described the events in the region in two published books describing her experiences. The first book, ''The Mission at Van in Turkey in War Time'', describes in detail the massacres of Armenians by Turkish soldiers during the Van Resistance. Her second book, ''The Tragedy of Bitlis'', relates the narratives of two nurses who witnessed massacres against the Armenian population in Bitlis. Her recounts of Bitlis is one of the few written accounts of massacres in that area.
