The seg¬ ment was part o! the eight-hour documentary on World War I which aired nation-wide in the United States on the Public Broadcasting System in November. This was a significant show because a large audience in the United Slates had die opportunity to be introduced to the horror of the Armenian Genocide. Even though pressure was brought to bear from the Turkish government. PBS had the courage to not back down and to air this hi stoncal I y accurate piece. "Greatermisery could not be imagined, the dead and the dying are everywhere...The whole country is one vast slaughterhouse." Leslie Davis Although eight tru nutes did not seem to be a long time, in fact this segment of the special very clearly and succi ncUy recounted the events of the Armenian Genocide. It not only brought eyewitness testimony, photographs, and quotes together, but also tied the Genocide to the continued policy of denial by the current Turkish government. The segment begins by con¬ necting events in Ottoman Turkey with the greater context of World War I. The narrator stated that the war had tu o faces in ()ttoman Tur- key-the heroic stand at Gallipoli (against the British and Allied forces) and the contrasting brutal plan of mass murder against the Armenians of the Empire. "In North Eastern Turkey, hun¬ dred of thdusands of civilians were to die. war was the excuse. Ethnic cleansing, of Christian Armenians out of lands controlled by Islamic- Turkey, was the true intention." As the narration conn nues pho¬ tographs from the Genocide are displayed in the background. One of the bright points of the segment are comments by Jay M Winter of Cambridge University who gave the background and con¬ text for the massacres and the Geno¬ cide. He explained the significant role that the Armenians of the Otto¬ man Empire played, as a thriving and prosperous community which was perceived as a political and strategic threat to the Ottoman Turks at the outbreak ol the War. But that threat quickly became a plan of extermination. Winter said. -MOM Armenians. 2.(XX).0(X) liv¬ ing in the Turkish Empire were no threat whatsoever." A brief description ol the ar¬ rest of community leaders in Constantinople, and the forced de¬ portations ol Armenians tollows. Eyewitness testimony is in¬ cluded in the documentary from two sources-one is from Leslie Davis. American Consul in Kharpoot (Kharpert). the other from German medical officer Armin T. Wegncr. Davis' testimony is based on his personal investigation of ru¬ mors of large scale massacres of Armenians in the region. After visiting the desert he wrote. "Greater misery could not be imagined, the dead and the dy¬ ing are every where...The whole country is one vast slaughterhouse." Armin *)Vegner visited a refu¬ gee camp where Armenian survi¬ vors had gathered. Against orders, and on penalty of death. Wegner photographed the diseased and dy¬ ing Armenians. "What Armin Wegner captured was a visual record of the first Geno¬ cide of the 20th century.'* In this segment some of Wegner's shocking and vivid pho¬ tographs are shown in the back¬ ground.
