Remember Armenians
To insinuate that the Armenians who want the memorial on the Rose
Kennedy Greenway are but another well-heeled interest group reflects
your disregard of history ("New Dig board must take reins," July
10). No one has issue with the Faneuil Hall memorial in honor of the
6 million Jews who perished at the hands of the Germans. Yet Hitler
stated, "Who remembers the Armenians?" prior to issuing the mandate.
It is the intention of the survivors of the Armenian genocide and
their families to teach the world what can happen when one forgets.
The Armenian genocide was the first of the 20th century, and has been
repeated in Cambodia, Sudan and elsewhere. If such groups affected
memorials, then so much the richer we would all become.
