People are still protesting,even this year, for Turkey to recognize the Armeninan genocide, which has the dubious honor of being the first genocide of the 20th century.
When the Japanese did essentially the same thing, we called it the Bataan Death March and it went into history books.

Interestingly, Hitler used the silence over the genocide in his invasion of Poland:
" Who still talks nowadays about the Armenians?’"
