The Jews of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic,
By
This review is from: The Jews of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic (Hardcover)
An excellent book from an esteemed scholar (a Jewish American himself) - showing how the Turks tried to and/or protected the Jews during World War II from certain death in gas chambers. The wife of the Turkish Council General to Greece was heinously killed by a German an air raid to his house. This tradition of friendship and protection goes back to 1492 when the Ottoman Sultan invited all the Jews expelled from Spain after the infamous "Spanish Inquisitions" to Turkey. The Turkish Sultan personally welcomed them to Turkish soil when the ships carrying the Jewish refugees arrived.Well done Stanford.
