Entire nations reject the reality of Holocausts. Turkey can’t remember a thing about slaughtering approximately 1.5 million Armenian Christians in 1915, not even the official edict from Minister Mehmed Talaat. Perhaps they don’t want Nazi Holocaust deniers to be left out. Armenians commemorate this tragedy on April 24 each year, the date in 1915 of a particularly egregious mass-arrest and execution of hundreds of Armenian community leaders, WND reports.

Armenian survivors shot an old film of their own based on “Ravished Armenia,” the memoirs of an eyewitness of Armenian Genocide.

Arshaluys, a young Armenian girl told about her torture and enslavement in a Turkish harem during the genocide. She eventually appeared in New York in 1917.

The teenager’s mission was to tell the world about atrocities in Turkey. From her highly successful book, Metro Goldwin Mayer studios created “Auction of Souls” in 1919, the first genocide documentary movie. Arshaluys was allowed to play the leading role in the story of her life.

Director Oscar Apfel hoped that “Auction of Souls” would appeal to all humanity, but the solemnity surrounding the film stands in stark contrast to current flippant dismissals of the Armenian Holocaust by Turkish leaders.
