The Asia Minor Tragedy: An Eye-Witness Testimony
Η Μικρασιατική Τραγωδία: Μιχαήλ Αγγέλου
During the genocide period, Angelou saved the lives of over 35,000 native Greeks and 160 Armenians. When he heard that the Kemalist forces were about to burn his family village, he notified his friends and relatives and told them to abandon the village, while at the same time he organised the transfer of medicine and equipment from 7 hospitals by loading them onto wagons and transporting them to Greece along with the fleeing village folk.
The Turkish administration had a list of 300 people who were wanted for treason. One of the people on that list was Michail Angelou. It was for this reason that he didn’t want to publish his memoirs until after his death and was unable to visit his homeland. He moved to Edessa, Greece and opened his own pharmacy and became the president of the Pharmaceutical group of Edessa. He died in 1968 aged 86.
His memoirs were published in 2013 under the title ‘Asia Minor Tragedy: An eye-witness testimony’ (Η Μικρασιατική Τραγωδία: Υπ’ αυτόπτου μάρτυρος. Αυτοβιογραφική μαρτυρία) with an introduction by Vlassis Agtzidis. It is a valuable resource on the massacre of Greeks in the Nicomedia region during the genocide period written by a member of the Kemalist army.
