Based on a True Story

So Many Lost...

 

My  mother's family lived in a small coastal town called Cesme in Ottoman  Turkey.  In 1922, they, and over a million ethnic Greeks living  peacefully along the Easter Aegean Coast, were deported to Greece in a  population exchange with Turkey that became brutal and violent.   Hundreds of thousands of Greeks, Armenians, Jews, and other ethnic  groups were killed during a genocidal ethnic cleansing that was called  forever after by the Greeks, "The Catastrophe".

The  following podcast provides some glimpses into my family's story, one  that I heard at my mother's knee when I was a  child.  Fear, sadness, heartbreak, tragedy, heroism, and a ray of  happiness: the birth of my mother, Eutychia ('happiness' in Greek).  Film available for viewing at https://festivalreviews.org/2025/02/23/watch-new-short-film-the-full-catastrophe-4min-usa-documentary/
