Description

The Arsonists of Memory describes the mechanisms of genocide. Yves Ternon, a renowned genocide specialist, brings a historian's insight into the major themes discussed. He enumerates the three undisputed genocides of the 20th century - destruction of the Armenians, Jewish Holocaust and genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda. The film shows undeniably that "genocide" and "negationism" are two sides of the same coin.
