'''''Number 31328''''' is a historical novel by [[Elias Venezis]], subtitled the "book of slavery".

==Plot==
The story starts in [[Ayvali]] (Κυδωνίες). It moves through the first days of the Turkish return to [[Anatolia|Asia Minor]] and through the fields of central Turkey towards "[[Amele Taburu]]" (Turkish for Labour Battalions).

The life of the slaves is seen through the eyes of one who shared these days. Humans are treated as objects: beaten to death by hammers, lethally wounded and left to die alone, raped and then killed. [http://keramida.serverhive.com/weblog/archives/2005-02-03/number-31328]
