The neutrality maintained by Turkey during most of the Second World War enabled it to rescue thousands of Jews from the Holocaust in the Nazi-occupied or collaborating countries of Europe. This book shows how in France, the Turkish consuls in Paris and Marseilles intervened to protect Turkish Jews from application of anti-Jewish laws introduced both by the German occupying authorities and the Vichy government and rescued them from concentration camps, getting them off trains destined for the extermination chambers in the East, and arranging train caravans and other special transportation to take them through Nazi-occupied territory to safety in Turkey. 'an important and unique addition to the vast scholarship available on that tragic era' Rabbi Abraham Cooper

Early in his career, Hitler took inspiration from Mussolini—this fact is widely known. But an equally important role model for Hitler has been neglected: Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, who inspired Hitler to remake Germany along nationalist, secular, totalitarian, and ethnically exclusive lines. Stefan Ihrig tells this compelling story.

This book studies the role of the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey in providing refuge and prosperity for Jews fleeing from persecution in Europe and Byzantium in medieval times and from Russian pogroms and the Nazi holocaust in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It studies the religiously-based communities of Ottoman and Turkish Jews as well as their economic, cultural and religious lives and their relations with the Muslims and Christians among whom they lived.

From 1894 to 1924 three waves of violence swept across Anatolia, targeting the region’s Christian minorities. Benny Morris and Dror Ze’evi’s impeccably researched account is the first to show that the three were actually part of a single, continuing, and intentional effort to wipe out Anatolia’s Christian population and create a pure Muslim nation.

What compels Jews in the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, and abroad to promote a positive image of Ottomans and Turks while they deny the Armenian genocide and the existence of antisemitism in Turkey? Based on historical narrative, the Jews expelled from Spain in 1492 were embraced by the Ottoman Empire and then, later, protected from the Nazis during WWII. If we believe that Turks and Jews have lived in harmony for so long, then how can we believe that the Turks could have committed genocide against the Armenians? Marc David Baer confronts these convictions and circumstances to reflect on what moral responsibility the descendants of the victims of one genocide have to the descendants of victims of another. Baer delves into the history of Muslim-Jewish relations in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey to find the origin of these many tangled truths. He aims to bring about reconciliation between Jews, Muslims, and Christians, not only to face inconvenient historical facts but to confront it and come to terms. By looking at the complexities of interreligious relations, Holocaust denial, genocide and ethnic cleansing, and confronting some long-standing historical stereotypes, Baer sets out to tell a new history that goes against Turkish antisemitism and admits to the Armenian genocide.

Given their geographical separation from Europe, ethno-religious and cultural diversity, and subordinate status within the Nazi racial hierarchy, Middle Eastern societies were both hospitable as well as hostile to National Socialist ideology during the 1930s and 1940s. By focusing on Arab and Turkish reactions to German anti-Semitism and the persecution and mass-murder of European Jews during this period, this expansive collection surveys the institutional and popular reception of Nazism in the Middle East and North Africa. It provides nuanced and scholarly yet accessible case studies of the ways in which nationalism, Islam, anti-Semitism, and colonialism intertwined, all while sensitive to the region’s political, cultural, and religious complexities.

More than half a century of investigation and analysis have yielded a vast literature on the events, participants and motivations surrounding Nazi persecution of Jews. But very little is known about the efforts made by Turkey, a neutral country and traditionally a haven for persecuted Jews, to rescue European Jewry during the Holocaust. Bringing to light for the first time documents buried in the archives of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, the National Archives (Washington), and the Turkish embassy and consulate in Paris, as well as materials given him by Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld, Stanford Shaw here unveils the tragic pleas of those fleeing Nazi persecution and traces the Turkish response. Recreating individual stories through letters from Jewish refugees, SS and Gestapo officials, and Turkish diplomats, this dramatic work carefully examines Turkey's little-heralded participation in sheltering leading scholars, physicians, attorneys and thousands of refugees. Turkey and the Holocaust illustrates how Turkey established Istanbul as the homebase for the Jewish Agency and other organizations set up to assist and rescue Jews throughout Eastern Europe and sought, through diplomatic pressure, to prevent Vichy from deporting all 70,000 of its Turkish Jews to Germany for extermination. Shaw narrates the plight of the refugees in the context of Turkey's overall reaction to the Holocaust, the precise role of Turkish diplomats, the effects of the disastrous Varlik Vergisi -- a wealth tax intended to help solve the financial crisis caused by Turkey's need to maintain a very large army against the possibility of a Nazi invasion from Greece -- and finally the inner workings and heroics of the Jewish Agency. Based on spectacular primary research and documents never before made public, this moving history recounts the horrific tragedies of Jewish persecution under Hitler and will be of interest to anyone interested in Turkish, Jewish, and European history and in the history of World War II.

In the first chapter, the author tells how Turkey sheltered professionals dismissed by the Nazis before the start of the war. [...] That this was not for the first time for Turkey, is shown in the early few pages with a brief introduction to the Jews during the Ottoman Empire and the first years of the young Turkish Republic. [...] Starting with the first subsection about the immigration of German-Jew professionals, the reader immediately finds himself in the middle of the incidences of the 1930s. [...] In the second chapter, "Turkey's Role in Rescuing Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust", the author sheds light on Turkey's diplomatic efforts and success in France and also in Greece to save the lives of thousands of Jews. [...] Despite the greater notion on the humanity in the last chapter, one still asks how mankind has the tendency to go to the both directions of humanity and cruelty at the same.

This historical study examines the lives of European Jews who found safe haven in Turkey and helped the nation transform in the years before WWII. Out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk formed the modern Republic of Turkey. As the nation’s founding father and first president, he initiated numerous progressive reforms. In 1933, he welcomed German and Austrian Jews who fled the rise of antisemitic violence in their homelands. In Turkey’ Modernization, historian Arnold Reisman chronicles the lives of some of these refugees as they pursued new lives in a new nation. Using archival documents, letters, memoirs, oral histories, photos, and other surviving evidence, Arnold Reisman sheds light on courage and determination of these individuals, as well as their important contributions in several fields of knowledge. With a clear-eyed analysis of Turkey’s achievements and shortcomings, Reisman also speculates about its inability to fully capitalize on these emigres’ legacy. “This book adds to our knowledge of an important aspect of the Holocaust, and of the behavior of Nation States in the modern world of woe and grief.” —Sir Martin Gilbert, Winston Churchill’s official biographer
