The Armenian Genocide - Important Time Documentary

"Who after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" Hitler posed this question on Aug. 22, 1939 before embarking on the Holocaust. This documentary tells the story of the Armenian Genocide - the massacres and forcible removals of hundreds of thousands to over a million Armenians, during the government of the Young Turks from 1915 to 1917 in the Ottoman Empire. Even today, the Republic of Turkey rejects the notion that the event constitutes genocide, claiming rather that the Armenian deaths were a result of inter-ethnic strife, disease and famine during the turmoil of World War I. However, most Armenian, Russian, Western, and an increasing number of Turkish scholars believe that it was indeed the first genocide of the 20th century - a campaign of state-sponsored ethnic cleansing and mass extermination.
