Letter: Why it's so difficult to think about atrocities

THANK you, Robert Fisk, for reminding us of atrocities about which many people do not know, or would prefer to forget.

The slaughter of the Armenians began in 1896 and, when the Turks allied themselves with Germany in the First World War, they had annihilated 1.5 million. When Hitler was asked about the slaughter he replied, "Who remembers the Armenians?". It is right that we should remember.
