I highly doubt only a handful of countries would recognize the Armenian Genocide, even with Turkey's status as a strong player in the Middle East and Asia and tied for Iran as leader of the Islamic world. The Cool War alone would make ITO recognize the Armenian Genocide and probably every nation outside of the CIS would choose to do so. With Turkey being one of the most militaristic nations with their annual intervention into Syria and how authoritarian it is compared to everyone else, its bad reputation alone would cause many to recognize it.
Traudl Junge, one of Hitler's secretaries and the last person to hear Hitler's final words: "I would rather have a world with no Germans and no Jews than one with a hundred million Germans and a single Hebrew".
She would survive the war and continue working as a secretary in, she would appear in several documentaries about WWII, the most famous being World At War. She died in February 2002 in Munich.

Due Mussolini's activities the Franks and ten of thousands other Jews were allowed move to Libya in 1942. There Otto Frank used his skills to create connections with local Libyans and Italian business life. Desbite that he was lost almost whole of his proberty to Nazis after passing of Nuremberg Racial Laws he managed crate quiet good property which he used help other Jews and Libyans. After State of Israel was founded he begun create more connections to Europe. He even managed get some of his old properties back in 1950's. Frank too became strong supporter of human rights. On 1950's Frank became one of most notable businessmen in Israel and pretty respected diblotam abroad. Politically he was supporter of Mapai but never personally entered to politics altough many Mapai politicians, even his daughter, asked him do that. Frank died in Jerusalem from lung cancer in 1982. He was survived by his wife Edith, daughters Margot and Anne and four grandchildren.
Screen capture from American miniseries The Company (1999). The series tells about Americans soldiers and their education and participation to WW2 and their fightings from Normandy to Berlin. The series was great success and it has praised from realism and very deep accuracy. It too includes many interviews of American WW2 veterans.
The opening title card for the hit tv series M*A*S*H. Set during the Chinese Civil War (specifically, the years 1948 to 1953), M*A*S*H would cover ground normally considered taboo for television. Running from 1972 to 1983, the show, set in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, would mix comedy, drama, and political commentary into its 30 minute runtime. One episode, Follies of the Livinug, Concerns of the Dead, had the ghost of a dead American soldier linger around camp while he struggled to move on, while another, Foreign Affairs, had the gang try to smuggle a wounded Red Chinese soldier who was wanted by the Italian army out of the camp to recieve a fairer trial in United Nations-controlled territory.
Imre Nagy was long-timed member of Hungarian Communist Party. But soon after WW2 Nagy begun had bad relationships with party leader Mátyás Rákosi. Nagy condemned Soviet invasion to Poland and usage of nuclear bomb and accused Rákosi being to pro-Stalin. Nagy begun openly oppose Communist leadership and formed his own moderate wing inside of the party. Last straw for Nagy was revelation of Second Holocaust by Stalin. This led total collapse of Hungarian Communist Party and Nagy and many other joined to Social Democrats. Nagy said later that he would had left the party anyway sooner or latter but Second Holocaust made his decision even easier. Nagy soon became leader of Hungarian Social-Democratic Party and reformed that moderate and liberal left-wing party. He led party to be largest opposition party on 1956 general election and largest parliament party on 1960 election and became first Social-Democratic prime minister of Hungary. As prime minister Nagy reformed Hungarian legistature and society and managed develope poor remote regions like Banat. Nagy's premiership lasted until 1968. After that he resigned from active day-politics altough he wrote several articles to left-wing magazines until his death in 1980.
Enrico Berlinguer was several years one of strongest oppositon leaders during years of Fascism in Italy. He led several years Socialist Party PSI. He managed lead anti-Fascist oppostion even when he was in prison during Balbo's years. When Fascism collapsed and Italy transferred to democracy on end of 1970's Berlinguer was elected as first prime minister on first free and fair elections since early 1920's. Berlinguer's premiership saw many important reforms like abolishing of death penalty and granting full suffrage to women. Berlinguer too reformed Roman Allaince and changed its name as Community of Independent States (CIS). Berlinguer was very popular altough Fascists remained pretty strong opposition towards his reforms. Berlinguer too planned Italy leaveing CIS and joining to ITO but he died surrendly in 1984 and was succeeded by Christian-Democrat prime minister Aldo Moro. Berlinguer had largest funeral since Benito Mussolini's funeral participated by several leaders over the world.
Adriano Trilgher, current leader of the National Fascist Party.
A member of the fascists’ post-collaspe paramilitary wing, the National Brigade or Brigata Nazionale, nicknamed the Tanshirts.
The Tanshirts mostly combat the growing resurgence of neo-nazi and neo-communist movements inside Italy and its colonies (through its colonial branches, often times working in tandem with Italian police) as well as combatting the mafia in the colonies.

Hungarian and Israeli flags on the Chain Bridge in Budapest.
Every April 13 the city celebrates the Liberation Day of the Nazis and their collaborators at the hands of the Anglo-Jewish army and the Hungarian resistance. Since the end of the Second World War, Hungary has become one of Israel's closest allies. Jewish life has been spectacularly reborn, Budapest has the second largest Jewish community in Europe after Solun and one of the lowest levels of anti-Semitism in the world according to diverse polls.
Italian actor Massimo Popolizio, dressed up as Il Duce Benito Mussolini, stands in front of a photograph of the late great leader (circa 2018).
Popolizio played the role of Il Duce in the 2018 dramatic Italian masterpiece, Mussolini: The Greatest Dictator. The film would go on to win many awards including an oscar for best foreign film. One of the most memorable moments of the film is when upon hearing of the Hungarian Jews pleading for asylum as well as seeing photographs of desperate Jewish refugees, in the face of the incoming SS, Mussolini turns to his assembled comrades (Including Italo Balbo, played brilliantly by up-and-coming actor, and fascist activist, Alfonso Perini who won an Oscar for best supporting actor), after remembering Isaac Carpi and his valiant sacrifice, and declares that there will be no more Jews dying in camps.
Alfonso Perini as Air Marshal Italo Balbo.

I don't know if this is a problem on your end or mine, but I can't see the picture.

I'm guessing this occupies a similar niche to the one The Death of Stalin did IOTL.
Scene from British movie The Great Moon Hoax (2017). It is black comedy about Soviet attempt to fake moon landing. The movie was pretty succesful and even in Russia it was one of most popular foreign movies of the year.
The brazilian actor Tony Ramos playing the brazilian president and dictator Getúlio Vargas on "Getúlio" (2014). The film was released in Brazil on May 1, 2014, coinciding with the Workers' Day official holiday – in reference to the labor policies implemented by Getúlio. Filming took place in the Catete Palace, in Rio de Janeiro, seat of the federal government at the time and where Getúlio led Brazil for the spam of three decades. The movie became a cult classic in Brazil shortly after, but some critics pointed out that the ruling president, Ciro Gomes, a fervent Getulist, used the movie for his own political gains.

The ironic thing is that mussolini passed the stupid racial laws in 1938, making even Jewish fascists like Guido Jung to leave him.
