The #SmyrnaHolocaust was the final phase of the #GreekGenocide. During the Ottoman period, the Turks referred to the city as Gâvur zmir (Infidel Smyrna) due to... its large Christian population. The U.S Consul General at #Smyrna George Horton said there were 155,000 Greeks living there, 165,000 Turks, 25,000 Jews, 25,000 Armenians not to mention French, Italians, British, Americans and foreigners. It was a cosmopolitan city. Beginning in May 1914, the Greeks of Smyrna experienced boycotts, arson, pillage, massacre and deportations. But it wasn't until September 1922 that the city met a crueler fate when it was all but completely destroyed by fire and a large portion of its Christian population was massacred. The fire made worldwide headlines during the month of September 1922 and the word often used to describe the destruction was "Holocaust." The word itself comes from the Greek 'holokaustos' which means 'to burn in whole.' www.greek-genocide.net
