Bernard-Henri Levy on the Armenian Genocide (video)
Bernard-Henri Levy puts into parallel the dramas suffered by the Jews and Armenian people. He recalls that "Denying the genocide. Denying it for twenty years, thirty years, fifty years or ninety years, it is for this very reason a cynical, horrible,
sordid way to continue perpetrating the crime, reproducing it and perfecting it so that the crime becomes flawless. The Jews know it well and the Armenians knew it before them. For the crime to be perfect, it has to be traceless. And for it to be traceless, it has to be annihilated even from the memories of survivors and descendents. There must be a law against genocide denial, because genocide denial is, in a strict sense, the ultimate stage of genocide".
