Armenian Massacre

I've never heard of the Armenian massacre.  Therefore it didn't happen.  Just like the holocaust, if it's not remembered because it's not taught, then it become a story, a legend, that some people are familiar and others aren't.  Already there are movements, including the Neo-Nazi movement, that claim the holocaust didn't happen and that Hitler and the rest of the Third Reich were misunderstood, and slandered, by history.

This is a powerful implication.  Despite living in an age of wide-spread information, the information that's presented is not always reliable.  The many debacles concerning Wikipedia show this, but it happens, and will continue to happen in as open a space as the internet, which we come to depend on more than a library, for instance.  

And this brings up a question of history in general.  There is no such thing as objective history.  There never has and never will.  History, by definition, is a series of events based around a point of view.  Who tells it?  Whoever wants to.  Whoever wins.  Whoever records it.  

I wonder how the Nazis would have recorded the holocaust.  Maybe they never would have recorded it.  Maybe the spin they put on it would hardly make it recognizable by us today.  It's interesting how evil we paint the Nazis today.  I wonder if we fall into the same trap, even years later, of glorifying our side while debasing the other.

One of the theories of why we dropped the Atom bombs on Japan is so that we could beat the Russians to it, thereby keeping a watchful eye and one step ahead of the Communists.  And think about it in general.  The act of using the Atom bomb opened a new epoch in world history.  If we had lost, and if the US ever loses its number one spot, will we be called into account for this as a war crime?  

And I've never seen, to the best of my knowledge, any art concerning the Armenian massacre.
