Newly Discovered Video of Smyrna Refugees In 1922



George Magarian and the YMCA - Smyrna, Athens, Pireaus - the Refugees of 1922

George Magarin was born in 1895 and graduated from the American College in Konya, Turkey. Later he worked for the YMCA in Konya. With a 35 mm camera he captured this footage which for over 85 years was unknown but to his wife living in New York. Finally in 2008 his grandson found it and had it restored so that we are able to view it today.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
