Asia Minor of our heart - Visual material(colorized).
After the 1920s a very large percentage of the people living in our city and especially in Voula were refugees from Asia Minor.
In 2022, 100 years have passed since the uprooting, the massacres and the dehumanization of the Greeks of Asia Minor. Digital material (photos and videos) from the Internet was collected with respect and a lot of zeal, which was then colorized.
The main objective is to educate the new generations about the truth which is often well hidden in unseen paths, hidden under the ruins of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who were sacrificed for no reason, powerless to the decisions of the powerful and above all TO NOT FORGET and NOT TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN .
The digital audio-visual material was divided into 9 thematic sections (Period 1919-1922, Daily life before September 1922, Departure of the Greek Forces, Refugees on the Waterfront, Turkish entry into Smyrna, The Great Fire, The next day of the disaster, Searching for salvation on the ships, Refugees in Greece).
