PROF. ZE'EVI TALKS TO TNH ABOUT THE 30-YEAR GENOCIDE Literary Review by Eleni Sakellis Published in The National Herald - May 11, 2019 (Note:  HGG has the permission of The National Herald to reprint articles that may be of interest to our group.)

Previous books have examined the genocides against the Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks separately or focused only on the period of 1913-1923, but The ThirtyYear Genocide is the first account to show that the three were actually one intentional effort to rid Anatolia of its Christian population.

I have translated these pages and made them available in both Greek and English, doing my best to transcribe the information accurately.  I would always recommend viewing the original scanned copies (link below). - To the best of my knowledge, these lists include all Males who were eligible to vote in the elections. - Names are in alphabetical order by Given name (Fi
