Written by my late aunt about my grandmother's family in Smyrna. Not a well known book, more of a vanity project.
My grandmother herself was long gone to America when the genocide occurred, in an arranged marriage with my grandfather who was from Lesbos, making me one half Lesbian. :O)

Smyrna? Such a great tragedy.
It is very hard to see how this has been papered over for so very long. It is clear that Turk forces burned the city and massacred many Greeks and Armenians.
But the Turk Government blamed it upon Armenians who burned their own city. Nobody really believes that, but there were defenders of Turkey then who told that lie widely. Even today Turkey denies any part in it.
Turkey will never admit it. If they did they would not be able to do it again. Which they will do, given the opportunity.
Erdoo the Islamist dictator of Turkey walks that path again today. He must be stopped.
