With about a million Greeks exterminated on policies made by Atatürk and his predecessors, more than 1.2 million Greeks were forcibly removed from Turkey in 1923-1924 as a result of the the Treaty of Lausanne, decimating thousands of years of Greek life in Asia Minor, Pontus and Eastern Thrace.
Atatürk (Father Turk) was an Albanian Jew born in Thessaloniki in 1881. His father died when he was young and his mother worked in a brothel.
