Destination Nowhere: the Witness is documentary on the Armenian
Genocide. It depicts Armin Wegner's personal testimony to the Armenian Genocide in the Syrian deserts where he served as an Austrian officer
in 1915-16. Wegner photographed the destruction of Armenians in the
deserts of Der Zor, and his photographs provide some of the most
powerful images we have of the Armenian Genocide. The documentary
was shot in Italy, Armenia, and Syria. Armin Wegner was recently
honored at the Armenian Genocide museum for championing the plight
of Armenians till the end of his life. "Destination Nowhere: the Witness,"
which is dubbed into English, was shown in London last year to great
acclaim.
Dr. Martin Rooney is a specialist on Armin Wegner and the Armenian Genocide. He is the founding member ofthe Armin Wegner Society
in Germany. His published works include several articles and translations
on the Armenian Genocide. His talk will engage Armin Wegner and the
role of Germany in the documentation, as well as denial, ofthe Armenian
Genocide.
This is the first US tour of the film "Destination Nowhere: the
Witness." It is organized through the Gomidas Institute Outreach Program. For further information on how to bring the film to your community
please contact wegner@gomidas.org
