Day 2, Narrative Dersim 1937/38: Testimonies of survival

In 1937–38, Dersim in Eastern Anatolia became the scene of massacres perpetrated by the Turkish military against the predominantly Alevi population. Measures of expulsion and re-education contributed to the widespread destruction of Dersim’s traditional way of life. The Dersim 1937/38 project has compiled interviews with eyewitnesses and is making the videos, subtitled in Kırmancki, Turkish and German, available to the public.
