Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust

Delve into the complex history of Turkey during one of the darkest chapters of human existence with Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust by Corry Guttstadt.

Guttstadt offers a nuanced analysis of Turkey's ambivalent stance toward Jewish refugees, as well as the experiences of Turkish Jews living abroad during the Holocaust era.
