Description: Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust This book analyses the minority politics of the Turkish republic and the country's ambivalent policies regarding Jewish refugees and Turkish Jews living abroad. Corry Guttstadt (Author) 9780521769914, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 20 May 2013 374 pages 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.5 cm, 0.65 kg 'Guttstadt's shocking study will change the way we think about the role of Turkey in the Sephardic Holocaust … Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust will become a standard text in Holocaust studies.' Marc David Baer, AJS Review Based on research in about fifty archives worldwide, Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust analyzes the minority politics of the Turkish republic and the country's ambivalent policies regarding Jewish refugees and Turkish Jews living abroad. Although Turkey stayed neutral during World War II, the country's policies proved crucial not only for the 75,000 Jews who lived in Turkey, but also to the 25,000 Turkish Jews living throughout Europe and the tens of thousands of Jews who desperately sought refuge in Turkey or transit to refuge elsewhere. Contrary to the official Turkish self-portrayal, this comprehensive study by Corry Guttstadt shows that Turkey was far from welcoming toward Jews during the Holocaust era.
