From the publisher

This highly illustrated book uses hard historical facts, statistics and archival documents from the FDR library archives, British Foreign and Colonial Offices, Yad Vashem, among others. Over two hundred original documents are reproduced. The book also personalizes the hard evidence via oral history taken from those directly involved as deposited in the Spielberg's Shoah Foundation's digitized testimony project. While acknowledging that Turkey could have done more as a place of refuge and as a transit country, this book makes the case that under the circumstances Turkey did more than given credit for by historians, educators, and the media alike. This is especially true when Turkey's role in saving Jews during the Shoah is juxtaposed with corresponding roles of the US and the UK during the same period.
