"The Armenian Genocide' on PBS
Andrew Goldberg's documentary, `The Armenian Genocide,' will be one of
the most important works for informing the American public about the
Ottoman Empire's attempt to exterminate its Armenian minority
population. The movie includes affirmation from Turkish and other
non-Armenian scholars at Harvard, Princeton and other major
universities, thoroughly provides photographic documentation of the
genocide, uses the voice of a very well known television celebrity, and
crafts a visual narrative that is moving and inviting.
While there are parts of the film that Turkish denialists will distort
to subvert the entire movie, `The Armenian Genocide' soundly exposes
Turkey's nefarious campaign of denial and beautifully recounts America's
response to the plight of Armenians at the time. The documentary tells
the story of the Hamidian massacres, the special organizations marshaled
by the Ottoman government as mobile killing squads, and other elements
essential to the intentional nature of the Young Turk genocidal
program.
The movie includes a television interview with Rafael Lemkin, who was
one of the driving forces behind the United Nation's adoption of the
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
During the interview, Lemkin explained that he coined the word genocide
based on the cases of the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide. On April
17, PBS will make `The Armenian Genocide' available to its local
stations across the country. We must all stay tuned for it and encourage
anyone we know to view this invaluable program, which will teach the
American public about the horrible crime the Ottoman Empire perpetrated
against our ancestors.
