Smyrna 1922 - The Destruction of a City

Smyrna 1922


By Marjorie Housepian Dobkin

This is the dramatic story of the great fire that consumed the then predominantly Greek city of Smyrna (now Turkish Izmir). The victorius forces of Ataturk set the city ablaze after a celebratory orgy of plunder, rape, and massacre of the Christian inhabitants.

The violence took place in the presence of 21 allied and American warships on the scene, who were under strict orders not to intervene. The city's demise marked a shift in foreign policy that favored Turkey, a wartime enemy, at the expense of Greece, a wartime ally.
