Facing History" has no qualms about sinking to the level of proven forgeries to teach their (Armenian) history.

"Facing History and Ourselves" likes to think of itself as an educational organization, spreading "good" in its genocide awareness program. But like other pseudo-educational organizations, such as "Teach Genocide," "The Genocide Education Project," and "Prevent Genocide," many of which are fronts for Armenian and other propaganda, what they spread is "FALSEHOOD AND EVILl."

Their teaching materials, as far as regarding the Armenians, generally have nothing to do with "history," and everything to do with VICIOUS PROPAGANDA.

"Facing History" is an 800 pound gorilla that deserves huge in-depth reportage, but this page will only be providing a beginning. It will mainly feature a letter written to one of the organization's vice-chairs, Jeffrey Bussgang, in March 13, 2006 (it is now June, 2007). The reason why Mr. Bussgang was contacted is because he had a personal e-mail address, where I could be sure a higher-up of the organization would receive the message. He's a busy investment manager who doesn't seem to be very involved in the affairs of the organization. My hope was to appeal to his conscience.

Jeffrey Bussgang

He did not have the courtesy to respond, nor — from a cursory search at the Facing History site today, where the Armenian genocide matter continues full blast — did he make any effort to sound off to the powers in charge. If he read the letter, he did not even bother to see if the claims of the letter were true.

Bussgang is still active with the Facing History organization; a news item declares, "Facing History and Ourselves and Benefit Chairs Lynda and Jeffrey Bussgang and Tracy and Leon Palandjian invite you to the 2007 New England Benefit Dinner." Plenty of Armenian friends here, more than a few wealthy and influential, given that the organization is based in Massachusetts.

The Armenians activists have certainly infiltrated this group. Richard Hovannisian and Peter Balakian comprise part of their band of respected "scholars."

The Mission

The mission of "Facing History":
Facing History and Ourselves is an international educational and professional development organization whose mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. By studying the historical development and lessons of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.

How utterly ironic. When "Facing History" teaches false genocides, as with the Armenian mythology, Facing History perpetuates hatred, prejudice and racism. That's one sure way to "engage" impressionable students in the "examination" of these poisons. That becomes quite a "moral choice," all right.

The organization's Executive Director, President and Co- Founder, Margot Stern Strom, is described in the following manner:

Margot Stern Strom is an international leader in education for justice and the preservation of democracy. Through her commitment to honoring the voices of teachers and students and her deep belief that history matters, she has enabled millions of students to study the Holocaust, to investigate root causes of racism, antisemitism and violence, and to realize their obligations and capabilities as citizens in a democracy.

What she has done is engage in the most severe injustice. History matters certainly, but given the direction she has allowed for the presentation of the Armenians' revisionist invention, she knows nothing about history. The organization now has the audacity to present a "Teaching Award" in her name, this most mediocre teacher.

She grew up in "racially segregated Tennessee," and in 1976 attended a Holocaust conference that "changed her life." In her defense, of course she was motivated from the perspective of "Good." What she may not have realized at the time was that "genocide" is a highly charged hot potato, and the politicized fakeries such as the Armenian matter didn't even occur to her. But what choice did she have, if she wanted to pursue this direction? The Armenians, with their wealth and influence and bullying tactics, made their presence felt; if one chooses to sign a pact with the genocide devil, it is a given that the Armenians must come along for the ride. (Of course she had a choice. One always has a choice, and she chose the path of spreading vicious misinformation in the pursuit of her agenda.)



Margot Strom

"She became committed to the field of education, convinced that it was critical that educators not betray children by protecting them from difficult issues and painful history." By stressing the study of these "genocides," real or not, is where the betrayal of children comes in. The Republic of Turkey purposely kept the heinous crimes of the Armenians and Greeks out of Turkish classrooms, so as not to induce hatred. As a result, Turkish people are today largely free of hatred. There is a time to introduce genocide pornography, but not when children are of an impressionable age.

Even with real genocides, as the Holocaust: what comes along with empathy for genocide victims is the hatred for the oppressors. This is not the correct course of action to take, at least not to the extent where genocide education serves as the thrust of the matter. And imagine the damage produced when children are taught hatred in the cases where genocides have been fabricated. Words fail to describe how unconscionable this sort of thing is.
