Synopsis

The Banality of Denial examines the attitudes of the State of Israel and its leading institutions toward the Armenian Genocide. Israels view of this issue has special significance and deserves attentive study, as it is a country composed of a people who were victims of the Holocaust. The volume seeks both to examine the passive, indifferent Israeli attitude towards the Armenian Genocide, and to explore active Israeli measures to undermine attempts at safeguarding the memory of the Armenian victims of the Turkish persecution.
