The Armenian genocide and it recounts from survivors presents the issues with the creation of an overarching definition, as it often excludes the tactics and policies implemented specifically targeting intended ethnic groups.

The director of the film Armenian Genocide: Grandma’s Tattoo Suzanne Khardalian delves into her own family’s history to investigate and discover the shocking truth behind some…

where the dangers lie in relying exclusively on memories to remember genocide. In both the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust, the use of memory can provide us with immense information and details on the events that happened to individuals. As opinions, experiences, and life can change, memory can change too; especially when the idea of collective memory is added in the mix. By analyzing both the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust we can evaluate how memory is used in our remembrance of the…

It took place in the Ottoman Empire; the Turkish Armenians wanted to make the empire thoroughly Turkish and they especially wanted to get the Christian Armenians out of the empire.
