From Nazi Germany to Ottoman Turkey, Genocides Begin in the Wilderness, Far From Prying Eyes
Robert Fisk | counterpunch.org | 2019-07-29
Many believe the Jewish Holocaust was planned by the Nazis at a Berlin lakeside villa at Wannsee on 20 January 1942. Most historians still think the Armenian Holocaust was hatched up by the Ottoman Turks in Istanbul in 1915. Of course, we\'ve long known that the mass slaughter of Europe\'s Jews began the moment the Germans crossed the Polish border on 1 September 1939 — and carried on across the Soviet Union in 1941, seven months before Wannsee.
