of illinois
in the house of representatives
Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As a Jewish American, I feel a profound responsibility to speak out against genocide and oppression wherever they occur. We must never forget the atrocities committed more than a century ago, that resulted in the death of 1.5 million men, women, and children at the hands of the Ottoman government.
more important than ever to speak clearly and truthfully and to call this crime by its rightful name—genocide. We owe it to the victims, their descendants, and to future generations to honor their memory and ensure that this history is neither erased nor forgotten.
across the Nation as we honor the memory of those who were lost. We must continue to educate the world about the first genocide of the 20th century.
