Hitler and Turkey and genocide of Armenians

Just found something that Hitler mentions and how it happened. Part of the history lesson we need to know, I think. I am sure it influenced Hitler as well for what he did.

----------

... Hitler was well aware of Turkey's genocide of Armenians and of the failure of the international community to respond adequately to it. As early as June 1931, Hitler commented in an interview that the "extermination of the Armenians" had led him to "the conclusion that masses of men are mere biological plasticine" over which Aryans would eventually triumph. He returned to this theme in a formal talk to his commanding generals on the eve of their invasion of Poland in 1939: "Our strength is in our quickness and our brutality," he exclaimed. "Genghis Khan had millions of women and children killed by his own will and with a gay heart. History sees only in him a great state builder.... Thus for the time being I have sent to the East . . . my Death's Head Units with the order to kill without pity or mercy all men, women, and children of the Polish race or language. Only in such a way will we win the vital space that we need. Who still talks nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians?" On at least three other occasions, Hitler pointed to the brutality of Turkey's regime and its willingness to strike without mercy as a worthy model for his own government.

One can sunmarise the genocide of the Armenian nation by giving the figure of 300.000 dead during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid and 1.500.000 killed during World War I (encyclopedia LAROUSSE).

US backs down over Turkey 'genocide'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/980914.stm

The American House of Representatives has agreed to a request from President Clinton to withdraw a draft resolution which labelled as genocide the killing of Armenians by Turks more than 80 years ago.

House speaker Dennis Hastert
Mr Clinton had said passing the resolution could put at risk American lives and further inflame tensions in the Middle East.

The draft had urged the president to show "appropriate understanding and sensitivity" toward events in the Ottoman Empire eight decades ago.

It described the "the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians" as genocide.

According to resolution sponsors, another 500,000 Armenians were driven from their homes.

But Turkey has always said that events in the northeast of the country between 1915 and 1923 cannot be described as genocide.

It says both sides suffered during partisan fighting as the Ottoman Empire collapsed

Such was the concern in the White House - not only about the diplomatic repercussions with Ankara, but the possible impact across the Middle East - that President Clinton personally intervened.


He telephoned the Republican House speaker, Dennis Hastert, who agreed to cancel the vote.

The Turkish Government, a key Nato military ally of the United States, has been fiercely opposed to the resolution, threatening retaliation if it was passed

The French National Assembly recognised the genocide on 29 May, although the French Government did not endorse the move.

Turkey has never denied forcing the Armenians out but says this did not amount to genocide.


The government order sealed Armenian fate
Filed away in the Ottoman archives is an extraordinary document. ( Check the site )

Signed in 1915 by the government's cabinet, it is an official order for the deportation of all Armenians.

Men, women and children were all classified as the enemy and were to be driven out.

-------

"We know how the largest party of all, the one that left Mamouret-ul-Aziz on Saturday, July 3rd, was taken to Malatia where, as they were entering the city, the men were separated from the women and all of them brutally massacred by the gendarmes; we know how the gendarmes informed some other men that the Vali had sent for them to return to Mamouter-ul-Aziz and when they had taken them a short distance killed everyone of them; we know how their wives and daughters were outraged by the gendarmes who accompanied them and by the Kurds and Arabs whom they met; we know how these women and children were driven over the desert in midsummer and robbed and pillaged of whatever they had...we have heard how thousands from all parts of the Empire were brought together at Deir-ez-Zor, where they remained in the most wretched poverty for nearly a year, after which all who had not perished in the meantime were massacred just outside the city."
Description:
An American diplomat's eyewitness account of the Armenian Genocide. When Leslie A. Davis, U.S. consul in Harput in eastern Asia Minor from 1915 to 1917, ventured out of the city, he found that the Ottoman policy of deportation of the Armenians went much further than forcible relocation: in his repeated forays into the countryside he saw the bodies of thousands of slaughtered Armenians. Davis realized the need for a full record of the atrocities. He brought along a doctor, who determined and described the causes of death, and a photographer, who took pictures of the victims.

Davis summarized his findings in a report to the State Department written in 1918. Little attention was paid to it, and it was filed away in an obscure archive. Seventy years went by before Susan Blair, a scholar doing research on Turkey and the Near East in U.S. government archives, came upon Davis's report. The Slaughterhouse Province reprints this report; it also includes the photographs of the victims and a commentary by Blair putting the document in its historical context.

While persuading his associates that a Jewish holocaust would be tolerated by the west stated...

Adolf Hitler in 1939:

"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians? "

I know of the Armenian genocide very well as my grandparents had to go through it, hence me living in the United States.

My last grandparent passed away just in February of this year.

Very interesting information, Kai! I really did not know about the Armenian Holocaust. Thanks!

Greg, I am sorry to hear that. My condolences.

 

Greg, truly sorry to hear your grandparents had to go through this...



The U.S. ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Henry Morgenthau, acting on instructions from Secretaries of State William Jennings Bryan and Robert Lansing, organized and led protests about the slaughter of the Armenians. Representatives from other nations, including Great Britain and France, also voiced their concern. An organization known as Near East Relief, chartered by an act of Congress, contributed some $113 million between 1915 and 1930 to aid the Armenian Genocide survivors. In addition, 132,000 orphans became foster children of the American people and owe their lives to this effort.

"When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations, they were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race; they understood this well, and, in their conversations with me, they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact....I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this. The great massacres and persecutions of the past seem almost insignificant when compared to the suffering of the Armenian race in 1915."

-Henry Morgenthau, Sr. U.S. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Ambassador Morgenthau's Story, 1919


"In its attempt to carry out the purpose to resolve the Armenian question by the destruction of the Armenian race, the Turkish government has refused to be deterred neither by our representations, nor by those of the American Embassy, nor by the delegate of the Pope, nor by the threats of the Allied Powers, nor in deference to the public opinion of the West representing one-half of the world."

-Count Wolf-Metternich German Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire July 10,1916, cable to the German Chancellor

"...the Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it...the failure to deal radically with the Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense."

-U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt May 11,1918, letter to Cleveland Hoadley Dodge

Turkey seeks to avert genocide vote in US Congress - Yahoo! News

Turkey's foreign minister said Wednesday he hopes the Obama administration will try to prevent a U.S. congressional panel from recognizing the World War I-era killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide.

Ahmet Davutoglu told Turkish reporters during a visit to Egypt that he expects "the U.S. administration to give the necessary message" to the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, according to the state-run Anatolia news agency.

"If it passes, then the Obama administration should try to prevent it from being voted by Congress," Anatolia quoted Davutoglu as saying.
