🇹🇷 Turkey & the Holocaust. Turkey was the only neutral country to implement anti-Jewish laws during WWII. During the war the Turkish government de-naturalized ~5,000 Turkish Jews living in Europe. ~2,500 of them ended up deported to the extermination camps of Auschwitz & Sobibor.
My grand parents survived the Holocaust without a scratch because they lived on the Turkish side of the Greek border. Tens of thousands of Greek Jews weren’t that lucky were they? Some of our family members lived in Marseilles/France with Turkish passports were put in Darcy concentration camp only to be saved by Turkish diplomats before being transferred to Auschwitz and sent back to Turkey.
@HaymiBehar Well, you deny the facts in that tweet? Mind you, everything I write is easily searchable. 😁 Turkey recognized 631 citizenship's, in 1943. The other side of the Turkish border, i.e. occupied Greece.. was Third Reich territory. You're giving my Turkish pets a glimpse of hope. 😊
@Reaping1821 @HaymiBehar Why Greeks have the tendacy to rewrite the history as they desire and put their shames on others? Is it kinda sport for you?
