Keeping Democracy Alive with Burt Cohen
Never Again? Denying The Crime Is Part of the Crime
Denial is the final stage for a successful genocide. Since Nuremberg, we’ve heard the phrase “Never Again.” But that requires facing real history, hearing the voice of the victims not just the winners. Though the Turkish genocide of a million and a half Armenians occurred a hundred years ago, while the rest of the world acknowledges the fact, Turkey still will not. On this show Armenian genocide expert Peter Balakian and Karen Murphy director of International Strategy at Facinghistory.org talk about why this remains an important topic in the 2020s. The effort to wipe out cultural identity continues, grassroots action must never experience compassion fatigue. Future generations depend on us.
