The Greek Community of Melbourne is set to tackle the subject of the Pontian Genocide, taking an in-depth look at the series of trials after World War One that took place to prosecute Ottomans connected with the Genocide.
The talk titled ‘Pontian Genocide Memorial seminar – Judgment Day’ will be held on 22 May, 7pm, at The Greek Centre with Dean Kalimniou serving as the main speaker.
Kalimniou will detail the personalities, the procedures and the perpetrators in order to discover why, over a hundred years later, despite these trials, denialism of the crime of genocide still exists as well as how these court processes ultimately came to influence the Nuremberg Trials.
The event promises to unpack lots of information surrounding the subject of great historical significance.
