Are Turks really genocidal people? Think again....

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. Based on the testimonies of eye witnesses, who traveled to Istanbul to find safety, the Turkish Passport also uses written historical documents and archive footage to tell this story of rescue and bring to light the events of the time.

The diplomats didn't only save the lives of Turkish Jews. They also rescued foreign Jews condemned to a certain death by giving them Turkish Passports. In this dark period of history, their actions lit the candle of hope and allowed these people to travel to Turkey, where they found light.

Through interviews conducted with surviving Jews who had boarded the trains traveling from France to Turkey, and talks with the diplomats and their families who saved their lives, the film demonstrates that "as long as good people are ready to act, evil cannot overcome."

I will NOT allow any discriminatory and racist terms under my videos, be it against the Armenians or Turks or Jews. Those comments will be removed!

[aoifewest]

saying turks  can comit genoccide is like saying the earth is flat or that orthodox juews eat pork! I hope turks will make more effort to teach europeans were they are. Turks are the most misunderstood people.

@999Hayastan Without your genocide claim you and your armenian lobbies all over europe and usa you'd be as unimportant as you morons deserve to be. You know what is fact besides your lies which keep your economically-dead morons alive ? The fact that armenians founded 2 notorious terror organisation hnchak and tashnak to exterminate the eastern anatolian and caucasian turkish population and apart from that your second organized genocide in karabagh against Turks.

Denying the Armenian genocide makes you the same guilty with the generation who did it..

Is there a chance to talk about "Armenian genocide" with an armenian? no.... I've tried to do that to many times. Even you show how the proves are lie of they believes , they keeps insulting you. There is one truth and it is , armenians are totaly ignortant and don't even cares of what is the truth. All they cares of just giving damage to turks and Turkey. In that case , how could we turks try to be polite and care of what armenian says?

@999Hayastan "Your" god will judge "you" too...

@999Hayastan historic evidences say armenians are liars..

[JanissaryMTF]

@999Hayastan This self-made-up armenian issue is something that you guys almost consider as a religion. This is far away from reason. If your claims are scientific then you must be to allow discussions. But you are afraid thats the most likely explanation. You morons are anti-democratic as in dark ages. Now in France noone, not even historians have the right to discuss about it. This is means prevention of freedom of expression. This is called arbitrary government or simply tyranny.

[999Hayastan]

Yes genocide happened that's a fact!!!
