Dear Reader,

/, is a German 2010 documentary film (German: Aghet – Ein
Völkermord) written and directed by Eric Friedler on the Armenian
Genocide by the Young Turk government of the Turkish Ottoman Empire
during World War I.

/Aghet
<https://www.youtube.com/tv?vq=medium#/watch?v=obi9I96AT_A&mode=transport>
/is the Armenian word for “catastrophe,” depicting the horrific
acts which began in 1915 and ended in 1923. It is based on eyewitness
reports by European and American personnel stationed in the Near East
at the time, Armenian survivors and other contemporary witnesses
which are recited by modern day German actors. The visual material
partly consists of secretly shot photographs of the death marches,
Turkish atrocities and suffering of the Armenian deportees.

/Aghet

/was awarded the 2010 Deutscher Fernsehpreis (Best German
Documentary), the 2010 Armin T. Wegner Humanitarian Award, the 2011
Grimme Award (Best German Television Award), the 2011 World Gold
Medal at the New York Film Festival, and received international
recognition on the Montreal World Film Festival. It has been shown
before many international audiences and was also presented to many
members of the United States Congress during a special screening.

April 24, 2013 is the 98th Anniversary Commemoration of the Armenian
Genocide. One of the most important ways in which we can honor the
memory of those who perished is to raise awareness and ask others to
recognize the horrors of the past.

Watch /Aghet /today and help us spread this message to others who
have not yet seen this important documentary.
