"Στην άκρη των χειλιών το ναι" Part One




The burning of Greek Smyrna in 1922, the massacre of its population, and the consequent, and unjust, expulsion of its remaining Greek citizens, is vividly portrayed by this video, which touchingly depicts these events through the employment of archival footage, and eyewitness accounts from those directly affected by these events. It also delves into the horrific time that these people endured in makeshift houses in Greece, and other substandard conditions. They say that pictures paint a thousand words, and seeing these images only makes one understand the plight of Greek people of Smyrna at this point in time, and sympathize fully with them.
