On the original question....seems to me that there is an element of celebration implied in the word anniversay. Is this true?
If so, it's an inappropriate and ineffectual word if used to mark the darker points of history. Guess it all comes down to the original meaning of the word that gives us the "versary" part. Over to you scholarly types.
