The memorial stone in honor of Armin T. Wegner at Milan Garden of the Righteous (Gariwo)

During the genocide against the Armenian people (1915 – 1923) perpetrated by the government of the "Young Turks", in which over 1.5 million people died, there were also steady supporters of Good who decided not to turn away and risked their lives to oppose genocide.
