After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Young Turks rose to power in 1908, aiming to create a Turkey inhabited only by Sunni Muslim Turks. Their successor, Mustafa Kemal, saw the Pontian Greeks as a threat and sought to exterminate them. One method was the "white death march," where, after 1916, Greek civilians were forced to march inland through deep snow without food or water. In 1921, Agapi and her family were among those forced from their home in Kotyora (Ordu, Turkey) on a 40-day march. Will they survive?
