In a matter of years beginning in 1915, an entire people was wiped
out from its homeland of several thousand years. But how can you wipe
out the remnants—its creations, assets, traces, its very existence—from
the collective memory of those who remained in that country, or, for
that matter, from the collective memory of the rest of the world? This
has been an immense challenge for successive Turkish governments, a
mission that was mostly successful for almost four generations. And yet,
here and there the lies or the hidden truths kept coming out with
increasing frequency, especially in recent years.
