Today marks the 91st anniversary of the beginning of the Ottoman Turkish genocide of the Armenians. The mulish and self-defeating denialism of the current Turkish regime (and of ordinary citizens) stands in stark contrast not only to Germany but now even to Poland. After centuries of loathing Jews far more than the Germans ever did, young Poles now see Jewish (more properly Ashkenazi) culture as hip, as described in a recent NPR piece. The radio show was actually kind of funny, with a former dissident describing the transformational experience of watching Fiddler on the Roof for the first time (this was apparently a common experience in the late communist period). By that yardstick, one indicator of Turkey’s becoming a grown-up country will be that the long-dead culture of the Ottoman Armenians becomes trendy.
