The following book is an excellent memoir by a grandson of survivors who only gradually learned of his family’s history: Black Dog of Fate by Peter Balakian

I believe there is a quote by Hitler early in WWII to the effective that since the world didn’t care about the genocide of the Armenians, the world wouldn’t care about the Jews.

I’ll have to look for that book. I grew up in Fresno with many Armenian classmates (2nd generation). They did not discuss the genocide with outsiders at that time. Too personal, I guess. They were still trying to fit in (and we were interested in WWII which was more immediate.)
