Washington, D.C. -- Today we remember and honor the lives lost during the Armenian Genocide - one of the darkest chapters in human history. We just commemorated Yom HaShoah - the Holocaust - and we were taught that to forget the name of the victim is as if to kill them again. That's why today we pause to honor and remember the 1.5 million Armenians who were tragically murdered in the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923 because genocide denial is the first step in the next genocide.
Washington, D.C. -- This week, Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32), along with more than 20 lawmakers, joined together with several Holocaust survivors for an event on Capitol Hill in honor of Yom HaShoah, Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day.

"To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time." – Elie Wiesel Yet on this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, less than half of Americans know how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust. As we take today to memorialize and mourn the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime, and as antisemitism and ethnic hatred is on the rise around the world, we must reprioritize Holocaust education.
Washington, D.C. – I am deeply disturbed by reports of a humanitarian calamity currently unfolding in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) as a result of Azerbaijan's continued and unabated campaign of aggression against the Armenian people.
Azerbaijan has reportedly imposed a blockade on the only road connecting Artsakh with Armenia and the primary means by which food, medical supplies and other vital resources are transported to the region. As a result, the lives of Artsakh's 120,000 Armenians, and the prospect for peace in the region, remain in grave jeopardy.
