Mihail Vasiliadis walks along the main shopping street of Istiklal in Istanbul February 6, 2009. Vasiliadis' friends warned him to leave work early and go home to his family on Sept 6, 1955. Within hours, mobs were attacking thousands of shops, churches and homes across Istanbul in a rampage against ethnic Greeks that eventually led thousands to leave Turkey, an event now retold for the first time in a film entitled "Guz Sancisi," or "The Pain of Autumn".
