An Inconvenient Genocide by Adam Hochschild was described by Joe Kasabian as illuminating, making the point that the Armenian genocide was a factor in emboldening Hitler to carry out his atrocities.
There's a book I'm interested in your thoughts on it actually, Joe I found it quite illuminating a number of years ago, An Inconvenient Genocide by Adam Hochschild, which is about the Armenian genocide and its influence on Hitler making the point that even though Hitler never was anywhere close to Armenia, neither were any fucking German troops for that matter particularly close Oh they sure were.
The point that Hochschild was making was that Hitler was not engaged in the Armenian genocide but he paid attention to it and the fact that the young Turks got away with it and got to take that land that as you pointed out is currently occupied by some US nuclear warheads was part of what emboldened him to do not just the Holocaust but everything he did in Europe and there was a line specifically in reference to the Holocaust from Hitler, I believe it was during his table talk that was like essentially he was saying of course we'll get away with it, nobody remembers Armenians anymore.
