Descrizione
During World War II the Turkish government did not have any intention or make any attempts to protect the Jews of Turkish origin living in German-occupied Western Europe. The majority of those Turkish subjects were considered 'irregular' and were deprived of any kind of diplomatic protection. In regard to the rest, the government did not want their return and blocked their travel to Turkey by suspending the process of visa and passport applications during the most critical year (1943)
