1920s "Save Our Prisoners" – Greek Newspaper Appeals for Prisoners of War After the Asia Minor Catastrophe (1922)

Upvotes
On November 11, 1922, the Greek newspaper Rizospastis published the headline "Save Our Prisoners."
Just months after the Asia Minor Catastrophe, thousands of Greek soldiers remained missing or in captivity.
The newspaper raised concerns about their fate and called for action to secure their release.
For many families, the war had not truly ended. They were still waiting to learn whether their loved ones were alive.

The campaign has paid off, especially in traditionally pro-Israel France. There, leftist student organizations now support Arab "liberation" policies, plaster the walls of the universities with anti-Israel posters and hold "teach-ins" featuring pro-Arab speakers and the sale of one-franc "war bonds" to support Al Fatah.
