Memory of Trees

Birds fly over a craggy mountain cliff near the city of Raqqa, Syria, where eyewitness accounts say that Armenian fell to their death during forced marches through the desert in the early 1900s. The trail along the Euphrates was used by the Ottoman Turks to deport Armenians, most of who perished on the way to the northeastern city of Deir Zor.
