I never knew how bad Seyfo and Simele was that bad as a Kurd

[u/khwarism]

Hello beautiful and lovely Assyrian people. I'm Kurdish, grew up in KRI. I was never taught anything about Seyfo and Simele, how bad and horrific it was. I would like to say that I'm really sorry. I wish Seyfo/Simele genocide were taught in schools.

Apparently, the concept of genocide was inspired by Simele, a Jewish man heard of what were being done to Assyrians in the 30s and came up with the concept of genocide and I think he discussed it in the League of Nations.

I would love to hear your perspectives, your grandparent's stories, and Assyrian accounts of the genocide.
