Access to information posted on the digital base can be initiated from either the BLOG https://timesforchange.wordpress.com/ or the website www.nickkouzos.com.
The posts include articles, and videos created by Nikos Kouzos or selected historical books and documents posted on the following three websites:
The introductory note that follows includes a summary of the subject contents and navigation instructions to access various articles written, videos recorded, included in three websites as follows:
1. https://nickkouzos.com
The website includes chapters, articles and videos about the history of the uprooting of the two branches of the families of the father and mother of Nikolaos Kouzou from Asia Minor, after the defeat of the Greek army during 1922
The subject expands to more general historical issues and reports on the relations and its effects from the conflict between the two peoples, which still affects them to this day.
The website I am publishing started as a personal family reference to the stories of relatives who lived the dramatic experiences of fleeing after the Asia Minor disaster, but also to the conditions experienced by the Hellenism of Asia Minor before the intervention of the Greek army in Asia Minor.
This work was done in memory of my parents and other relatives and ancestors, but it evolved into a text of more general historical reference and recording of the historical events of a period that marked Greece as well as Turkey, two neighboring countries that, have not managed to resolve their differences up today.
The analysis of historical events is presented in different sections that consist of separate chapters, by topic, with a complete historical review, in chronological order of historical events with references to documentation from reliable sources cited so as to create a text with increased credibility.
The fact that the website is written in Greek as well as in English also covers Greeks abroad and especially the generations who are slowly losing contact with the Greek language but must not lose their national consciousness and memory in any way. This need has become even more important due to the more recent developments that Turkey has adopted revisionary policies against Greece that is affecting Europe and USA.
I hope this website will help the close and distant relatives and their descendants, especially the younger generations, who spread to the ends of the whole world, to find this website. as a point of reference to their roots.

2. https://wordpress.com/posts/timesforchange.wordpress.com
The BLOG includes 450 articles that create a chronological set of events of the modern political history of an important part of the post-political history of Greece that was affected by the developments of the world situation. \
In addition to the articles, this BLOG also includes his own poems through which the author’s emotional sensitivities are expressed over time. Also included are excerpts from selected historical books related to the Asia Minor disaster, as well as publications from that era that are real historical relics.
The articles also analyze issues that play an important role in the evolutionary path of both Greece and the international community.
There are always references to Greek-Turkish relations in the events, which are an important factor in the evolution of Greece, Cyprus and Hellenism in general.
All the articles are classified by thematic category chosen by the reader.
The same article may appear multiple times, since it belongs to multiple thematic categories, but it can also be recalled from the single basic list found on the website

The third website contains 130 videos that mainly record family events, but among them there are also some stories of the last survivors from the unforgettable homelands of the lost Hellenism. I don’t think that this website will be of interest to a wide portion of readers and mainly concerns family friends and relatives or researchers, who are interested in approaching through personal stories the conditions of Hellenism in Asia Minor.
NOTE: The contents, by category, chapters of the blog https://timesforchange.wordpress.com/about/, and also on the website nickkouzos.com include the entire book by Panos Meimaridis about Kirkagats and its last inhabitants, as well as an other historical book about the Peramos written by G. Sgouridis, but also other articles with broader description of more elements about the disaster faced by Hellenism, in this period, such as memoirs of the US Ambassador in Turkey and the US Consul in Smyrna George Horton.
4. Finaly there is an other site: Nick Kouzos geneology tree which includes 512 persoms, 396 photos and 70 stories. There have been many members of this tree who have been invited to make corrections or additions with additional stories, relatives, photos and dates.

Τα πρώτα χρόνια της προσφυγιάς ήταν πολύ δύσκολα και πολλά άτομα και συγγενείς είχαν διασπαρθεί σε όλον τον κόσμο. Δεν ήταν δυνατόν να εντοπισθούν πολλά από αυτά τα άτομα.
Ειδικά θα ήθελα να βρω τρία ξαδέρφια της γιαγιάς μου που μετανάστευσαν στην Αμερική
Τα ονόματα των ξαδέρφων αυτών που μπόρεσα να μάθω από την Θεία μου Δωροθέα ήταν, ο Γιάννης, ο Γιώργος Χατζημπάσης, και ο Χατζηδιάκος.
