Maybe the story "has been told", but how many people know it? Now how many people know what the holocaust is?

I never understand arguments like this. Are you condemming jews for bringing attention to their cause? Its like you're saying that only so much informaiton can be learnt by the general public, and that if you know about one cause then you are automatically taking attention away from another. Just ridiculous, people seem to have enough room to learn about teh latest britanney gossip they can learn about more than one example of oppression w/out having to make one less well known.
If Armenians want to promote awareness of their genocide there is nothing stopping them from doing it. I have never once seen a holocaust exhibition or movie that tried to deny other forms of genocide. In fact, usually the opposite. Obviously an exhibit on the holocaust will focus on the jewish experience, because the experience was unique from other people who were harmed in the holocaust and the intention of the funders and promoters is to promote their ponit of view.
I don't see why general public knowlegde on on other forms of persecution has anything to do w/ holocaust denial. If anything jews should be rewarded for providing an effective model on how to raise awareness.
