The Maraş Massacre is not only an "event" in which the most painful and heaviest murders took place in Turkey's recent history. The severity of the murdered and injured people, the plundered/burned down houses and workplaces in front of us is far beyond what is officially shown. The severe torture, immigration and resettlement policies applied to the victims after the "incidents" are also lesser known aspects of the Maraş Massacre. The book in your hand 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 different aspects and not to have it erased from the social memory. A political reckoning that does not limit its interrogation only with "notorious murderers" is one of the horizons that the book seeks to open. The book also contains a call for social responsibility for the re-examination of "Republican elites", "nationalist barons" and "Islamist entrepreneurs". It also includes the "innocent people" who plunder their house by taking the life of their neighbor into this questioning. Because this is the way to face the Maraş Massacre in real terms. ibutors: Orhan Gazi Ertekin, Hamit Kapan, Derviş Koç, Saim Sağnak, Birgül Metin Sarıkaya, Seyit Sönmez, Halil Bozdoğan, Fevzi Saygılı, Mustafa Ertekin, Aydın Çubukçu, Hasan Şükrü Dal, Erhan Buldanlıoğlu, Tahsin Kozanoğlu, İsmet Yüce.
