Armenian Genocide Hoax
This site's title is somewhat misleading because, instead of presenting the Armenian genocide as fakery, it focuses on the semantic argument that Armenians were the victims of massacres but not genocide. "The genocide label is simply propaganda to associate Turks with evil & is a form of Anti-Turkism," the site argues. Its anonymous writers present the massacres as occurring in the midst of a frenzied civil war fought along ethnic lines, posing the rhetorical question, "When a nation loses a rebellion in a civil war, what better way to seek revenge than to claim it was genocide?"

It has no sense of scholarship or historiography. For outside documentation on this, see: Report on Kalman K. Brattman & the Holocaust Survivors Network or its Appendix. The U of M's CHGS has also been attacked by this site for disagreement.

From the Republic of Croatia. During the Holocaust, Croatia was a country that had a government very sympathetic to Nazi Germany and which carried out the "final solution" against the Jewish population. Therefore, this curriculum should be examined as an example of how a former perpetrator country deals with the memory and teaching of the Holocaust.
Holocaust Lesson Preparation for Grade VII, Example of a curriculum prepared by a country that was a perpetrator in the Holocaust, Croatia. This curriculum was presented at the Stockholm International Conference, January, 2000 as it offered as an example of how former perpetrators, and in the case of Croatia, a country with a troubled recent history because of genocide in the former Yugoslavia, deals with the Holocaust. Have there been any lessons for this country from such a curriculum?
