The Persecutions of Bithynia & Nicomedia by Kostas Misaïlidis

Kostas Misaïlidis was born in Nicomedia, Bithynia, in 1883 and died in Athens in 1955. He was one of the most significant war correspondents of the turbulent period between 1919 and 1922.

Publications such as this are not only useful, but essential for gaining a deeper understanding of the culture and intellectual vitality nurtured by the Greeks of Asia Minor under extremely
adverse conditions up until 1922, when they were violently uprooted from their ancestral homes. It is worth remembering that two-thirds of Hellenism remained outside the borders of the modern Greek state formed in 1832.

This edition seeks to highlight and honor that irreplaceable civilization through the voice of one of its most literate witnesses – the Asia Minor journalist and intellectual, Kostas Misaïlidis.
