Turkish Passport (2011)

"The Turkish Passport" recounts the story of Turkish diplomats stationed in European embassies and consulates who rescued many Jews during World War II. These diplomats facilitated the safe return of Jewish citizens, often evacuating them from concentration camps or trains destined for them, ensuring they could reach Turkey. Drawing on firsthand accounts from survivors who sought refuge in Istanbul, as well as historical documents and archival footage, the film details these rescue efforts and sheds light on the events of the era.
