Who said this quote “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”?
I heard the quote a little differently: “Who does now remember the Armenians?” It was Hitler who said it in 1939 in support of his belief that a great extermination of a people could easily be forgotten. He also, I think, could’ve meant this in a more horrible way meaning something like he killed more Jews, etc. than the Turks killed the Armenians, so his own genocide would overshadow a previous, “less important” genocide. I honestly hadn’t known there was anything called the Armenian genocide until I read a fictional book called Forgotten Fire by Adam Bagdasarian (I recommend reading it).
