Hitchcock,,
thanks.
Thank you for the link.
I was 8 years old when I saw the original photos printed in Look or Life. Left a life long impression since it was the same year I watched 4 people bleed to death in a terrible auto accident. Feeling—the world is terribly unsafe, and I must be in control at all times to protect myself. Fortunately, therapy helped and I am happy in my 70s. That being said, we also have the many thousands killed in slavery as part of our history, plus Pol Pot and his 4 million, South Sudan and hundreds of thousands, and it goes on now with ISIL/Daesh.
I have just read “Birds Without Wings” by Louis de Bernieres. The Armenian slaughter was just the tip of the iceberg. The author reports, “There was between 1821 and 1913 a prolonged and atrocious holocaust which we have chosen to forget, and from which we have learned absolutely nothing.” Boundaries and peoples were moving and slaughtering each other all over the area north, south, east and west of the area that became Turkey. At least 6 ethnic groups were savagely treated and all 3 religions, by more than 9 different countries. The barbarities committed were every bit as bad as what is being done today by ISIL/Daesh. Women especially were tortured, mutilated, raped and killed as slowly as possible. All Greeks/Christians were kicked out of Turkey, many murdered as marched to ports of departure. All Turks/Muslims were kicked out of Greek owned territory. ISEL/Daesh is acting exactly as did millions of murderers and thieves during that period, part of which was called the Balkan War.
Unfortunately, many British also harbored anti-semitic feelings which partly explains why Israel was abandoned by the British after WWII ended, and why problems there have continued to this day. When will we learn the lessons of history, and what exactly are they and the actions we should take based on them???
