68 Greek names listed in book “The Genocide of the Greeks in Turkey – Survivor Testimonies from The Nicomedia (Izmit) Massacres of 1920-1921” by Kostas Faltaits, published in English by Cosmos Publishing, 2016.  

The book shocked Greek readers when it was first published in November of 1921 under the title ‘These are the Turks – Narratives of the massacres in Nicomedia.’  “It was then that Greeks read with quite some detail the manner in which the Christian population of Asia Minor was annihilated.  Greek public opinion was of the view that this chronicle was a document of national importance which had to be distributed to the entire population.”

Book description:

In March of 1921, journalist Kostas Faltaits arrived in Asia Minor (today’s Turkey) sent by newspaper Embros to cover Greece’s movements in the Greco-Turkish War. By the time he arrived in the region of Nicomedia (today’s Izmit) - a region inhabited by a large number of Greek, Armenian and Circassian communities - Kemalist forces had set fire to many of the villages, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. Faltaits came face to face with the fleeing survivors of these massacres, and was able to collect these valuable and graphic eye-witness testimonies which were published in both Greek and French at the time. Translated for the very first time in English and with a prologue by Tessa Hofmann, this edition will shed some light into just one of the many chapters of the Greek Genocide, a genocide which claimed the life of approximately one million Greeks living in the former Ottoman Empire.
