The Ottoman Turkish genocide of its Christian ethnic minorities is acknowledged by many to have been the first modern genocide, and leading scholars point to the organized institutionalized manner in which the killings were carried out.

The Hellenic genocide was carried out prior to, during, and after World War I and implemented in two phases—the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labour death camps, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly, and the infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian Desert. Driven forward by military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, dismemberment, crucifixions, and massacres.

Greetings will be by Joseph Keane HCC Chair with an Introduction to the topic and presentations by HCC Vice Chair Lou Katsos. The presenters will include: Dr. Peter Stavrianidis on "Asia Minor – A Journey of Glory, Tradition and Genocide", George Shirinian on "The Significance of the Hellenic Genocide", Paul Pavlakos on "Ensuring Never Again - How you can get involved in Hellenic Genocide Recognition Efforts."
