Once they had eliminated the Armenian peoples leadership. they turned their attention to the Armenians that were serving in the Ottoman army. These soldiers were disarmed. They were placed in labor camps where they were either starved or were executed. The Armenian people. lacking any political leadership. then were deprived of all of the young ablebodied men who could fight against the onslaught. were then deported from every region of Turkish Armenia. The images of atrocities endured by these men and women are as graphic and as haunting as the ones that are etched in our minds from the Holocaust. Why. then. are so many people unaware of the Armenian genocide?
