In preparing for the final solution. which would consume the lives of 6 million Jews. Adolf Hitler said. "Who remembers the Armenians?" Mr. Speaker. the American people remember the terrible fate of the Armenians under Ottoman rule. We remember. along with the Armenian diaspora. the brutal deportations. forced marches. mass starvations. wholesale executions. and systemic massacres that claimed the lives of 11/2 million Armenians. We bear testimony today so that future generations of Americans will know what happened to the Armenian people during the last years of the Ottoman Empire. We commemorate the 78th anniversary of the Armenian genocide to mourn these fallen. silent victims.
