It's because of things like this that the Armenian genocide is so unknown. That's sick.

Unfortunately, history authors can only devote a certain amount to certain events, and they end up putting in larger essays on events like WWII.
On the other hand, I bet that if you examined an Armenian history book, you'd find plenty about that genocide, and very little about say, the Australian and New Zealand contribution (ANZAC's) during the world war.
I hope this answers your question, and sorry that there's not more awareness of your particular area of interest.

I know what you mean. At least your portion of the Genocide is being recognized, the Assyrian and Greek Genocides which occurred at the same time are not in any history books. A total of 3 million Christians died during the Genocide and still Turkey does not recognize it.

Well, Schools can't teach everything. There isn't enough time. So....the administrators pick what is to be taught. It's a quandary. Hopefully kids will get the extras from their parents.

Quote Adolf Hitler: "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

I'm actually amazed that there's even a paragraph. It's a step in the right direction.

Not sure but it is truly sad. I do not see or hear much on the one against the Chinese, others in WW2 as well.
