Speaker. the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians during and immediately after World War I must be considered alongside the Nazi Holocaust against Jewish people as one of the most unbelievable. vicious examples of mans inhumanity against man. On April 24. 1915. Turkey began a program of collecting Armenian religious. intellectual. and political leaders. and deporting them to Anatolia where they were systematically executed. Deprived of leadership. the Armenian people including women. seniors. and children were subjected to rape. torture. and mutilation as they were exiled from their homeland. The men and older boys were separated from the groups. never again to be seen. and those remaining were forced on death marches into the desert of Syria.
