/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Genocide Archive Project, Inc. submitted its DVD,
1915 Turkish Genocide of the Armenians, to the 2006 Boston Jewish Film
Festival (). Executive Producer David Davidian of the
Genocide Archive Project and Film Director Franchot Lubin of Lubin
Productions, compiled this 32 minute enhancement of an earlier DVD
created from Boston’s 90th Genocide commemoration.
As the Genocide Archive Project informed PanARMENIAN.Net, the 1915
Turkish Genocide of the Armenians DVD consists of a new, powerful
mini-documentary and three survivor accounts spanning the breadth of
Asia Minor: Armineh Dedekian from Bandirma (across the Sea of Marmara
from Istanbul), Peter Bilezekian from Marash, and John Kasparian
from Van. These three survivors were subsequently interviewed by the
Boston Globe in April 2005. The creators of this documentary have an
accomplished record in pursuit of Genocide recognition and film making.
The film is specifically aimed to educate students, teachers, and
lawmakers. Hundreds of these DVD were hand-delivered to members of
the U.S. Congress during March and April of this year by the two major
Armenian advocacy groups based in Washington, D.C. The DVD 1915 Turkish
Genocide of the Armenians consists of a powerful documentary and
survivor accounts, detailing cause, implementation, German complicity,
and aftermath of this World War I genocide. World indifference towards
this progenitor of modern state-sponsored genocide led directly to
its repetition by Nazi Germany against European Jews and other groups.
