Government to protect the victims from further violence. It was the birth of the American international human rights movement. The Near East Relief Organization. founded in 1919 to assist Armenian refugees. provided more than $116 million for the cause during its 10year lifetimethe equivalent of more than $1 billion in todays money. We need to recapture that energy and determination because the best way to honor those who died is to recognize their suffering and dedicate ourselves to preventing such a destruction of entire communities in the future. Recognizing the Armenian genocide takes on added importance in the face of the genocide occurring right now in the Darfur region of Sudan.
