Congressman Adam Schiff: Each of the victims was a precious life (video)
Congressman Adam Schiff (DCA) is going to read for an entire hour on the House Floor the names of a small fraction of the 1.5 million people killed during the Armenian Genocide. “In a single hour, I will only be able to read the names of a mere fraction of those who were killed in the Armenian Genocide. To read all of the names of the more than 1.5 million people murdered at the time, would take many weeks and weeks, and I hope that the recitation of the victims will help call attention to the magnitude of the crime. A name, unlike a number, is no abstraction — each was a son or daughter, a mother or father, a grandparent, an aunt or an uncle; each was a precious life,” he said. For more details watch the congressman’s interview with Voice of America.
