#211 Aristotle Onassis: An Extravagant Life

The city of Smyrna was in flames. The Holocaust, one of the biggest in the world's history. was larger than the Great Fire of London in sixteen sixty six or the blaze that wrecked San Francisco in nineteen oh six. Two hundred thousand refugees jam the city. Many had not eaten in days.

There was an outbreak of typhoid. The harbor was packed with ships from many nations. Aggressive escapees of the flames swam to a nearby ship and attempted to climb aboard. They were beaten. And shot.

A mile out to sea the cries of the dying could be heard. Intermixed with the frequent roar and clash of exploding ammunition stores, which sounded like an intense infantry battle. The Turks put up concentration camps on the outskirts of the city. Aristotle Onassus worked his way through the flaming streets. some were impossible to traverse, not be only because of the wreckage, but also because of the stench.
