| Summary: | The memory of Armin T. Wegner, journalist and cosmopolitan freethinker, is indelibly inscribed in the annals of German histrory due to two unusual letters he authored. one was to the American president Woodrow Wilson in 1919, calling for solidarity with the remnant of the Armenian people, who were then being slaughtered by the Turks. The second is the urgent letter wegner sent Adolf Hitler in 1933. warning him about the potentially dangerous consequences of any futher injustices against the Jews. wegner, who himself was not a Jew, paid a high price for his intrepid stance, being confined in several concenatration camps and prisons. He was banned from speaking and writing, and finally forced to emigrate. |
