This event was organized in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The speakers explore interrelationships between the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust, with particular attention paid to the direct ties between the two genocides, some of the similarities and differences in the genocidal processes as well as the denial of both genocides, the role of self-defense on the part of Armenians and Jews against the Ottomans and Nazis, respectively, and the role of the Great Powers in the genocides and their aftermath.
