thatshaneguy replied to your quote: Who still talks
I am curious, what source does this quote come from?
As of right now my textbook, World War One: A Global Revolution, however the primary source is The Armenian Massacre by Guenter Lewy, which challenges the veracity of the quote but can’t discount it entirely.
“Who still talks nowadays about the extermination of the Armenians?”

MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. — One of the world’s most prolific bootleggers of Hollywood DVDs loves his morning farina. He has spent eight years churning out hundreds of thousands of copies of “The Hangover,” “Gran Torino” and other first-run movies from his small Long Island apartment to ship overseas.
“Big Hy” — his handle among many loyal customers — would almost certainly be cast as Hollywood Enemy No. 1 but for a few details. He is actually Hyman Strachman, a 92-year-old, 5-foot-5 World War II veteran trying to stay busy after the death of his wife. And he has sent every one of his copied DVDs, almost 4,000 boxes of them to date, free to American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
