The Outbreak of the Istanbul Pogrom

septemvriana1
Istanbul, 1955, 17-year-old Aliki witnesses a Turkish mob looting Greek homes, and attacking, raping, and murdering Greeks, along with Armenians and Jews. This was the beginning of the so-called "Istanbul Pogrom," in the immediate wake of which more than 15,000 of the city's Greek residents fled Turkey. Today, fewer than 3,000 inhabitants of Greek origin remain in Istanbul - which, at the start of the Turkish Republican era, had been home to close to 150,000.
