Henry Morgenthau. In a cable to the Secretary of State. Ambassador Morgenthau wrote: Deportation of and excesses against peaceful Armenians is increasing and from harrowing reports of eye witnesses it appears that a campaign of race extermination is in process under a pretext of reprisal against rebellin. Some may ask why it is important to take time each year to commemorate an event which occurred over half a century ago. In reply I would recall the reported observation of Adolph Hitler as he contemplated the "final solution"-"Who remembers the Armenians?" Sadly. as we all well know. the Armenian peoples tragedy was not the last genocide of this century. there followed the horrors of the Holocaust and the extermination of the Cambodians during the brutal Khmer Rouge regime.
