This was one wall. The figures remained covered in shrouds from the time I set them up till Sunday evening. I attached excerpts from the article David provided. People read them. I was told by two people that they very much appreciated the gesture...that's all it was. They had a Genocide conference I couldn't attend. At that conference they went back to 1933 and Simele...and back even further and further...all the while not a word was said about the Genocide being committed against the Assyrian people of Iraq, ALL OF THEM, by the United States government. Collectively, the people at that conference were indirectly involved with extreme acts of inhumanity towards the people and the land of BetNahrain WHILE THEY SAT THERE.
I don't know of anyone who complained about this, or the shrouds. You could be "wise" and assume I found an excellent marketing technique to hawk my goods with.
