Maraş Katliamı: Vahşet - İşkence ve Direniş

Maraş Massacre: Atrocity - Torture and Resistance Book Description

The Maraş Massacre is not just an "event" in which the most painful and heaviest murders took place in Turkey's recent history. The gravity of the murdered and injured people, the plundered/burnt down houses and workplaces, is far beyond what is officially shown. The severe torture, migration and settlement policies applied to the victims after the "incidents" are also less well-known aspects of the Maraş Massacre. The book in your hands is the product of a modest effort that aims to shed light on all the processes of this brutality, which is literally a "pogrom", to analyze it from its different aspects and not to have it erased from social memory.

A political reckoning that does not limit its interrogation to "notorious murderers" is one of the horizons that the book wants to open. The book also includes a call for social responsibility for the re-questioning of "Republican elites", "nationalist barons" and "Islamist entrepreneurs", and also includes the "innocent people" who attempted to kill their neighbors and plundered their homes in this questioning.

Because this is the way to truly confront the Maraş Massacre.
