The popular YouTube channel *A Day in History*, with more than eight hundred thousand subscribers and the stated aim of “shedding light on some of history’s most suppressed but factual events,” published a mini-documentary about the Assyrian genocide in October 2023.

Since its release, the documentary has garnered more than 5.2 million views on YouTube, making it one of the channel’s most-watched videos. It also generated significant interaction in the form of likes and comments, with one viewer writing: *“I’d heard about the Armenian genocide, but I’d never heard about this. Thanks for spreading awareness about these atrocities.”*

In the introduction, the team behind *A Day in History* acknowledged that they themselves had initially overlooked the Assyrian genocide, stating: *“It seems impossible that we would forget genocides of entire people, but events like the Assyrian genocide show us how fickle human memory can be.”*

The documentary is well-researched and factually accurate, with sources listed in the description, including the detailed book *Massacres, Resistance, Protectors: Muslim-Christian Relations in Eastern Anatolia during World War I* (2006) by Swedish researcher David Gaunt.

*“The struggle of the Assyrians is easily overlooked, but it contains tales of incredible brutality and of admirable resistance,”* the description notes.
