Smyrna Holocaust timeline #8 part 2

The final phase of the Greek Genocide took place at Smyrna in September 1922 when Kemalist forces entered the city and took part in an orgy of looting, rape and massacre that targeted the city's Christian population, primarily Greeks and Armenians. They then burnt the city to the ground. The term Smyrna Holocaust refers to the wholesale slaughter of the Smyrna populace, which at the time was majority Christian, and also to the fire that completely destroyed the city.

Chrysostomos was born in Triglia (Zeytinbağı) in AsiaMinor & became the Metropolitan of Smyrna in 1910. He worked ceaselessly to defend the rights of Smyrna's Christian Greek population and brought attention to their persecution during the First World War. As a result, he became a hate figure for Turkish nationalists.
On the 10th Sep 1922, a day after Kemalist Turkish forces occupied Smyrna, Chrysostomos was handed over to a mob who subsequently tortured and murdered him. Reading Material, The City, Photo Image
