Please
join us at the award-winning film;
TURKISH
PASSPORT
Turkish Passport film has been
brought Turkish and Jewish communities together based on the common bond of
humanity in Canada. Three screenings were organized and shown mainly to
the Federal & Provincial Members of Parliaments, Politicians, Bureaucrats,
National Media Journalists, and Jewish Community Leaders. The Federation of
Canadian Turkish Associations and B'nai Brith organized these events together
with local Turkish Associations under the coaching of the Turkish Consulate in
January 2012.
The Turkish Passport tells the story
of diplomats posted to Turkish embassies and consulates in several European
countries, who saved numerous Jews during the Second World War. Whether they
pulled them out of camps or took them off trains that were taking them to
concentration camps, the diplomats, in the end, ensured that the Jews, who were
Turkish citizens, could return to Turkey and thus be saved.
