Vortrag


Rıfat Bali (Istanbul)

Turkish Jews and Turkification in the Single Party Years (1923-1945)

Abstract

My talk will focus on the first 22 years of the Turkish Republic when the founding fathers of the wanted to establish a nation state where all citizens, regardless of their religion and ethnicity, will be equal citizens of the young Republic. It will analyze why this dream did not realise, the constraints it put on the Turkish Jewish community and the reactions of the community's leadership.
