Genocides and Historical Denial
From the Armenian Genocide to the Holocaust, history is replete with examples of genocides that were denied or downplayed. This section reveals how regimes use gaslighting to rewrite or obscure the atrocities of the past, preventing accountability and perpetuating cycles of violence.
The Holocaust
Despite overwhelming evidence, Holocaust denial continues to gaslight history by distorting facts, minimizing atrocities, and advancing revisionist agendas that ignore the systematic genocide committed by the Nazi regime.
The Armenian Genocide
The Turkish government has long denied the Armenian Genocide, gaslighting the international community and its own citizens by distorting or erasing this atrocity from historical memory, despite well-documented evidence.
Genocides in Cambodia
The Khmer Rouge regime justified the Cambodian genocide by reframing it as necessary for utopia. Despite millions of deaths, gaslighting denied or downplayed the scale of the genocide, misleading both the Cambodian people and the international community.
