The Greek Holocaust 1915-1922 -

Santa Barbara, CA: CelebrateGreece (65% English and 35% Greek Language; No Subtitles; 111 Min) 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". First Thus.. Video Box.
