Home > Genocide Research > Statements on Record Relating to the Armenian Genocide

"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

" I have issued the command — and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad — that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness — for the present only in the East — with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

-Adolf Hitler, 1939

Answer 2

I heard the quote a little differently: "Who does now remember the Armenians?" It was Hitler who said it in 1939 in support of his belief that a great extermination of a people could easily be forgotten. He also, I think, could've meant this in a more horrible way meaning something like he killed more Jews, etc. than the Turks killed the Armenians, so his own genocide would overshadow a previous, "less important" genocide. I honestly hadn't known there was anything called the Armenian genocide until I read a fictional book called Forgotten Fire by Adam Bagdasarian (I recommend reading it).
