Thrace during the Greek Genocide

The 1917 Missionary Review of the World reported:

"Greeks in Thrace and the regions of the Marmora were deported to the interior of Asia Minor along with the Armenians. At least 500000 Greeks are said to be in need of relief in Turkey alone."

The King-Crane Commission: An American Inquiry in the Middle East (1963):

"... the Greeks had been deported from Thrace and the coastal region of Asia Minor during the war, and had died of 'white massacres' in great numbers."
