Speaker. in my long association with the ArmeninAmerican community. I have become very familiar wilth their pain by the act of gano. cideand the further pain caused by a con. timuing attempt to deny that this genocide ever took place. From 1915 to 1923. 1.5 million Armenian men. women. and children were deported. forced into slave labor. tortured. and exterminated. The Armenian genocide was the model tr subsequent efforts of reigious and ethnic annihilation. The Infamous quote by Hitter"Who. after all remembers the extermination of the Armenans?"--which is prominentiy dis played In the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. serves as chilling affirmation of this fact I am a proud cosponsor *I House Concurrent Resolution 55. a resolution honoring the memory of the victims of the Armenian geno. cide.
