Riassunto:If we shall commemorate the opening of the Auschwitz camp in January 2015, next April we shall look to the centenary not of a liberation but of the first genocide of the century which struck Turkey’s Armenian community in 1915. Testimony will dedicate its next dossier not to the facts, but to the construction of its memory and its internationally current nature. This will be included in the issue n° 120, released in April 2015. However, we wished to meet with Janine Altounian well beforehand.
