It was a great privilege for our IBDP1 students to visit on Thursday, 16 February 2023, the Benaki Museum and be guided to the unique exhibition: "ASIA MINOR HELLENISM: Heyday – Catastrophe – Displacement – Rebirth".
This large commemorative exhibition, under the Patronage of H.E. the President of the Hellenic Republic, marks the centennial anniversary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
More than 1,000 exhibits and over 500 photographs bring to life the heyday of Hellenism before the persecutions, the dramatic period between 1919 and 1923 as well as the settlement and integration of the Asia Minor refugees in Greece.
Students not only got aware of the historical, geographical and cultural context of of literary and film works they are going to study in their Modern Greek course, but they also had a unique opportunity to be experientially introduced to one of the most important and controversial periods of the modern Greek history.
