“The Holocaust was not the first genocide of the 20th century. During the first World War, the Ottoman Empire sought to eliminate an entire ethnic group of people. Armenian culture and history thrived for over 3000 years at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.”
CLOSE:
“In the 20th century, an estimated 15 million people have been wiped off the face of the earth by genocide. To learn from these dark chapters of human history will require overcoming denial, facing the truth, and coming to terms with genocide, to avoid repeating it.”
