THE GREEK HOLOCAUST: 1915-1922
The modern day genocide of the Greeks of the Pontos and Micra Asia (Asia Minor).
On September 8, 1922 the Moslem Ottoman Turks committed the first case of modern day genocide and ethnic cleansing. It began with the genocide of over one million Armenian Christians around 1915. Between 1915 and 1922 over 350,000 Greek Orthodox Christians of the Pontos and up to 1,500,000 Greek Orthodox Christians of Micra Asia were exterminated by forced death marches and burnings. Holocaust, which comes from the Greek word "olokaftoma," means total consumption by fire.
We hope that the survivors who share their memories and stories of unspeakable pain will help the world remember this groteque crime. As we approach the 100th year anniversary of the horror of the Greek holocaust, we offer this film as a memorial to the Greek Orthodox victims of the Pontos and Micra Asia.

The Greek Holocaust: 1915-1922May 22, 2007
By Dr. James Stathis The interviews with survivors of the Greek Holocaust are real and gripping and easily overcome the less-than-Hollywood standard production values. The emotional stories come through loud and clear and that is what is most important. The topic is especially important as few people, other than Greeks and Turks, know about it.

First of all the Armenian and Greek genocide happened before the invasion/liberation of asia minor this was our land 500yrs prior before the turks arrived in the 1300s , for thousands of years Greeks lived there .Just as your precious israel was before being occupied by the palestinan arabs yet you invaded /liberated there as well in 1948 right ???. Do not be a hypocrite . In 1915-1919 the genocide happened" before" the Greeks landed in asia minor .The Greek army was sent and allowed to go there by Britian , France and the USA . We were winning the war "UNTIL" France and Italy decided to sell all their weapons to the turks . The Greek army was 50 miles outside of ankara . After fighting continously from the balkan warsin europe , as well as WWI till 1922 the army was exhausted , and over extended and was eventually defeated . But remember the provacation for the Greek army being in Asia Minor was to relieve the suffering of the christian minority there, both Armenian and Greek Both sides did bad things to each other and as a Greek i do not hate turks regardless of what happened 85 yrs ago .Do not distort history . Got it.... good .

History cannot lieSep 21, 2008
By Alexandros This is a documentary on historical facts, using primary sources for information. History cannot be changed to suit whatever interests someone has today. As for the people that claim that Greece invaded Turkey, they should be reminded of the fact that what they now call Turkey was part of Hellenism for centuries -- the population in Asia Minor was Greek, this is another fact of the Hellenistic history and culture. Of course, today NOTHING reminds us of those very recent times, that is a job that the Turks know how to do very well -- i.e., genocide, killings of the innocent, and ethnic cleansing. The same process was followed in Constantinople, Pontos, Cyprus, and all of Asia Minor. That's for history's sake -- Smyra was just stolen from its Hellenic population, let's not forget that fact!!!! The truth is always hard to accept.

DisappointingSep 22, 2007
By Jean H. Laprime THe DVD is presented in interview format. Mostly in English, though some in Greek. Very amateurish. Does provide some background and items of interest.
