Armin T. Wegner
Armin Theophil Wegner (October 16, 1886 – May 17, 1978) was a German soldier and medic in World War I, a prolific author, and a human rights activist. Stationed in the Ottoman Empire during World War I, Wegner was a witness to the Armenian Genocide and the photographs he took documenting the plight of the Armenians today "comprises the core of witness images of the Genocide."
In the years following the end of World War I, Wegner also voiced his opposition, at great risk to his own life, against the anti-semitic policies of the Nazis. In 1933, he authored an impassioned plea to Adolf Hitler on behalf of the Jews of Germany. He suggested that the persecution of the Jews was not just a question of "the fate of our Jewish brothers alone, [but also] the fate of Germany." Noting that he was writing the letter as a proud German who could himself trace his Prussian familial roots back to the time of the Crusades, Wegner asked Hitler what would become of Germany if it continued its persecution of Jews. Answering his own question, Wegner declared, "There is no Fatherland without justice!" He was persecuted by the Nazis and, for his efforts, is recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations.

Armenian Genocide Eyewitness Armin Wegner | USC Shoah Foundation
Armin T. Wegner was in the German Sanitary Corps, and was posted to Eastern Turkey during WWI. There, he witnessed the genocide of the Armenian people. Seeing the devastating consequences of the deportations, Armin documented the genocide in photographs, keeping meticulous notes at great personal risk. Armin was arrested for his covert documentation, but was able to smuggle his photographs back to Germany. These photographs were later used in German Court as evidence that genocide had indeed taken place in Eastern Anatolia against the Armenian people. Armin became a tireless advocate for human rights and was one of the first, and only, German citizens to be outspoken against the Nazi persecution of the Jews as early as April 1933, when he wrote an open letter to Adolf Hitler. Armin was im...

Metropolis || Fotos des Grauens - Armin T. Wegner
In Deutschland ist der in Elberfeld geborene Schriftsteller und Fotograf Armin T. Wegner heute weniger bekannt als im Ausland. Vor 100 Jahren war er als Krankenpfleger im osmanischen Reich stationiert. Im Spätsommer und Herbst 1915 wurde er zum Zeitzeugen des ersten Völkermordes des 20. Jahrhunderts, der in Konstantinopel begann. Eineinhalb Millionen Angehörige der christlichen armenischen Minderheit fielen dem Terror zum Opfer. Die Ausrottung lief nach einem systematischen Plan ab. Zunächst wurden Angehörige der intellektuellen Elite hingerichtet: Allein am ersten Tag wurden 2.400 Professoren, Priester, Ärzte, Schriftsteller, Künstler und Wissenschaftler ermordet. Um auf die grausamen Ereignisse aufmerksam zu machen begann Wegner, die Geschichten der Überlebenden aufzuschreiben und die G...

Armin continued his work advocating for the Armenian people until his death. A friend of J. Michael Hagopian, he encouraged Hagopian to use his art as a documentary film maker to ensure that the witnesses of the Armenian Genocide were documented on film. Armin's interview recorded in 1967 was one of the first that Hagopian collected. It documents one of the twentieth century’s greatest advocates for genocide prevention. Wegner demonstrated that it was possible to be an ordinary citizen and, at the same time, be an effective voice for the benefit of humanity.
Armin T. Wegner has been my role model for much of my career. It is an honor to be able to introduce this clip, which places his voice in the public domain for the very first time - exactly 100 years after he began his life's work as a witness to genocide.

In Deutschland ist der in Elberfeld geborene Schriftsteller und Fotograf Armin T. Wegner heute weniger bekannt als im Ausland. Vor 100 Jahren war er als Krankenpfleger im osmanischen Reich stationiert. Im Spätsommer und Herbst 1915 wurde er zum Zeitzeugen des ersten Völkermordes des 20. Jahrhunderts, der in Konstantinopel begann.
Eineinhalb Millionen Angehörige der christlichen armenischen Minderheit fielen dem Terror zum Opfer. Die Ausrottung lief nach einem systematischen Plan ab. Zunächst wurden Angehörige der intellektuellen Elite hingerichtet: Allein am ersten Tag wurden 2.400 Professoren, Priester, Ärzte, Schriftsteller, Künstler und Wissenschaftler ermordet.
Um auf die grausamen Ereignisse aufmerksam zu machen begann Wegner, die Geschichten der Überlebenden aufzuschreiben und die Gräueltaten zu fotografieren. Heimlich schmuggelte er Hunderte von fotografischen Platten über die Grenze. Aber die Westmächte ignorierten seine Hilferufe. Kein einziges Bild wurde veröffentlicht, keiner seiner Artikel fand Beachtung. Ein Dringlichkeitsbrief an Woodrow Wilson blieb unbeantwortet. – Wegner wurde zum Dienst in den Cholerabaracken strafversetzt.
Zurück in Berlin wurde er Mitbegründer des “Bundes der Kriegsdienst-Gegner”. Im März 1933 appellierte er in einem Brief an Hitler, der Diffamierung und Hetzpropaganda gegen Juden Einhalt zu gebieten … ‘es geht nicht um das Schicksal der jüdischen Brüder allein, es geht um das Schicksal Deutschlands!” schrieb er in weiser Voraussicht. – Wenige Jahre später (1938) beruhigte Hitler die Mitglieder seiner SS-Todesschwadronen in einer Rede: “Wer spricht heute noch vom Genozid an den Armeniern?”
Die Jewish Antidefamation League argumentiert heute, dass eine Veröffentlichung von Wegners Fotos und Berichten den Holocaust zumindest teilweise hätte verhindern können. Die National Armenian Library and Museum of America in Boston, die zahlreiche Fotos von Wegner ausstellt, schließt sich dieser Auffassung an.

Armin T. Wegner was in the German Sanitary Corps, and was posted to Eastern Turkey during WWI. There, he witnessed the genocide of the Armenian people. Seeing the devastating consequences of the deportations, Armin documented the genocide in photographs, keeping meticulous notes at great personal risk.
Armin was arrested for his covert documentation, but was able to smuggle his photographs back to Germany. These photographs were later used in German Court as evidence that genocide had indeed taken place in Eastern Anatolia against the Armenian people.
Armin became a tireless advocate for human rights and was one of the first, and only, German citizens to be outspoken against the Nazi persecution of the Jews as early as April 1933, when he wrote an open letter to Adolf Hitler. Armin was imprisoned in seven concentration camps for his outspoken opposition to the Nazis. He was awarded ""Righteous Among the Nations"" by Yad Vashem in 1967.
Armin continued his work advocating for the Armenian people until his death. A friend of J. Michael Hagopian, he encouraged Hagopian to use his art as a documentary film maker to ensure that the witnesses of the Armenian Genocide were documented on film. Armin's interview recorded in 1967 was one of the first that Hagopian collected. It documents one of the twentieth century’s greatest advocates for genocide prevention. Wegner demonstrated that it was possible to be an ordinary citizen and, at the same time, be an effective voice for the benefit of humanity.
Armin T. Wegner has been my role model for much of my career. It is an honor to be able to introduce this clip, which places his voice in the public domain for the very first time - exactly 100 years after he began his life's work as a witness to genocide.

In Deutschland ist der in Elberfeld geborene Schriftsteller und Fotograf Armin T. Wegner heute weniger bekannt als im Ausland. Vor 100 Jahren war er als Krankenpfleger im osmanischen Reich stationiert. Im Spätsommer und Herbst 1915 wurde er zum Zeitzeugen des ersten Völkermordes des 20. Jahrhunderts, der in Konstantinopel begann.
Eineinhalb Millionen Angehörige der christlichen armenischen Minderheit fielen dem Terror zum Opfer. Die Ausrottung lief nach einem systematischen Plan ab. Zunächst wurden Angehörige der intellektuellen Elite hingerichtet: Allein am ersten Tag wurden 2.400 Professoren, Priester, Ärzte, Schriftsteller, Künstler und Wissenschaftler ermordet.
Um auf die grausamen Ereignisse aufmerksam zu machen begann Wegner, die Geschichten der Überlebenden aufzuschreiben und die Gräueltaten zu fotografieren. Heimlich schmuggelte er Hunderte von fotografischen Platten über die Grenze. Aber die Westmächte ignorierten seine Hilferufe. Kein einziges Bild wurde veröffentlicht, keiner seiner Artikel fand Beachtung. Ein Dringlichkeitsbrief an Woodrow Wilson blieb unbeantwortet. – Wegner wurde zum Dienst in den Cholerabaracken strafversetzt.
Zurück in Berlin wurde er Mitbegründer des “Bundes der Kriegsdienst-Gegner”. Im März 1933 appellierte er in einem Brief an Hitler, der Diffamierung und Hetzpropaganda gegen Juden Einhalt zu gebieten … ‘es geht nicht um das Schicksal der jüdischen Brüder allein, es geht um das Schicksal Deutschlands!” schrieb er in weiser Voraussicht. – Wenige Jahre später (1938) beruhigte Hitler die Mitglieder seiner SS-Todesschwadronen in einer Rede: “Wer spricht heute noch vom Genozid an den Armeniern?”
Die Jewish Antidefamation League argumentiert heute, dass eine Veröffentlichung von Wegners Fotos und Berichten den Holocaust zumindest teilweise hätte verhindern können. Die National Armenian Library and Museum of America in Boston, die zahlreiche Fotos von Wegner ausstellt, schließt sich dieser Auffassung an.

La storia distribuisce a volte strani destini. Può capitare a un uomo di assistere al massacro di innocenti, di diventare testimone non solo di un genocidio, ma addirittura di due, e di dover scegliere da che parte stare. E’ accaduto ad Armin Theophil Wegner, un militare, uno scrittore e un difensore dei diritti umani tedesco.

Armin T. Wegner The Righteous German Soldier, during the Armenian Genocide. Presented @ Ararat Eskijian Museum, California, USA
Armin T. Wegner
Armin Theophil Wegner (October 16, 1886 – May 17, 1978) was a German soldier and medic in World War I, a prolific author, and a human rights activist. Stationed in the Ottoman Empire during World War I, Wegner was a witness to the Armenian Genocide and the photographs he took documenting the plight of the Armenians today "comprises the core of witness images of the Genocide."
In the years following the end of World War I, Wegner also voiced his opposition, at great risk to his own life, against the anti-semitic policies of the Nazis. In 1933, he authored an impassioned plea to Adolf Hitler on behalf of the Jews of Germany. He suggested that the persecution of the Jews was not just a question of "the fate of our Jewish brothers alone, [but also] the fate of Germany." Noting that he was writing the letter as a proud German who could himself trace his Prussian familial roots back to the time of the Crusades, Wegner asked Hitler what would become of Germany if it continued its persecution of Jews. Answering his own question, Wegner declared, "There is no Fatherland without justice!" He was persecuted by the Nazis and, for his efforts, is recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations.
