  1. Adolf Hitler, addressing his commanding officers in a speech right before invading Poland in 1939, asked "Who still talks nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians?" • What lesson did the Nazi leader take from the world's failure to bring to justice those who planned and carried out the killing of the Armenians during World War I? • Hitler was referring to the genocide (genus means people; cide means killing) of the minority Armenian people ordered by Turkish leaders. Under the cover of war, the state eliminated the Christian Armenian minority through mass deportations, death marches and killings.

  2. The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide in the 20th century, and unfortunately, since then many more have occurred, including the Holocaust, Rwanda and most recently Sudan. • You are about to discover what the Armenian Genocide was, when, where, and why it happened.  You will leave this project being able to talk of the "extermination of the Armenians", and hopefully will honor the memory of the one and a half million Armenians who were murdered.
