By 1940 many of these Turkish Jews living in France had married French Jews, had children and even grandchildren who were French citizens, had in fact taken up French citizenship themselves. Some had retained their Turkish citizenships by registering with the Turkish consulates at least once every five years, but others had neglected this. Turkish diplomats responded to this situation in two ways. Sometimes they provided false papers. They gave Certificates of Turkish Citizenship to Turkish Jews who were in imminent danger of being shipped off to a labor or concentration camp. The paper work was immense, but somehow the Turkish diplomats Yolga in Paris and Necdet Kent in Marseilles, worked tremendously hard in order to handle all these cases and to protect those Jews who needed protection by giving them papers when they need them most.

I'm not looking for your approval, but posting this to remedy any lack of understanding that may exist. Sure it's our duty as righteous human beings to do our utmost to help those in want. Nothing special about that.
