Shoah
Compares British and U.S. indifference to the plight of European Jewry under Nazi rule to Turkey's pro-rescue stance. Contends that, while the U.S. State Department obstructed the entry of refugees, Turkey, between 1933-39, sheltered 190 eminent Jewish intellectuals from Germany and Austria and their families. Turkish diplomats in France (and Belgium) helped many Jews of Turkish origin return to Turkey, or at least saved them from deportation. During the war Turkey served as a transit point for numerous refugees on their way to the Land of Israel. Turkish authorities assisted in the rescue efforts of the Jewish Agency in Istanbul. Describes the activities of Cardinal Angelo Roncalli and Ira Hirschmann, who, with the cooperation of von Papen, the Nazi ambassador to Turkey, tried to rescue Jews from Hungary via transit through Turkish territory. Includes numerous documents, photographs, and eyewitness accounts.
Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust
This book analyses the minority politics of the Turkish republic and the country's ambivalent policies regarding Jewish refugees and Turkish Jews living abroad.
1001 MASKS OF TURKISH ITTIHADISM IN A CENTURY
In the early 1900s, the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) committed the Armenian Genocide as part of their pursuit of Pan-Turkist and Pan-Islamist aspirations known as "ittihadism." The CUP also sought to Turkify non-Muslim property, reminiscent of the Aryanization program in Nazi Germany that targeted Jewish assets. The ittihadist dream was shattered when the Ottoman Empire collapsed following their defeat in the Great War. Established in 1923 as an ittihadist project, the Republic of Turkey adopted "ittihadism" as its fundamental ideology as well. The desire to reach Central Asia and unite with other Turkic nations was initially reignited during World War II. Nonetheless, the dream was...

Turkey and the Rescue of European Jews
This book exposes Turkish policies concerning European Jews during the Hitler era, focusing on three events: 1. The recruitment of German Jewish scholars by the Turkish government after Hitler came to power, 2. The fate of Jews of Turkish origin in German-controlled France during WWII, 3. The Turkish approach to Jewish refugees who were in transit to Palestine through Turkey. These events have been widely presented in literature and popular media as conspicuous evidence of the humanitarian policies of the Turkish government, as well as indications of the compassionate acts of the Turkish officials vis-à-vis Jewish people both in the pre-war years of the Nazi regime and during WWII. This volume contrasts the evidence and facts from a wealth of newly-disclosed documents with the current populist presentation of Turkey as protector of Jews.
My Enemy's Enemy
This book provides the historical context for the shifting alliances that ended with the termination of the British Mandate in Palestine during May of 1948. The Ottomans were hospitable to Jews, particularly after the expulsion from Spain in 1492 and for centuries thereafter. However that changed around the end of the 19th Century when Jewish interests in Palestine encountered a decaying Ottoman Empire administered by local, corrupt officials. British interests in the area seemed a welcomed change to European Jews seeking to make Palestine their national homeland. Though initially regarded as liberators, the British were frequently seen by the Jews as enemies, even when the two groups joined forces to fight the Turks in WWI and the Nazis in WWII. .
Ethnic Europe
Ethnic Europe examines the increasingly complex ethnic challenges facing the expanding European Union. Essays from eleven experts tackle such issues as labor migration, strains on welfare economies, the durability of local traditions, the effects of globalized cultures, and the role of Islamic diasporas, separatist movements, and threats of terrorism. With Europe now a destination for global immigration, European countries are increasingly alert to the difficult struggle to balance minority rights with social cohesion. In pondering these dilemmas, the contributors to this volume take us from theory, history, and broad views of diasporas, to the particularities of neighborhoods, borderlands, and popular literature and film that have been shaped by the mixing of ethnic cultures.
Managing Technology in Healthcare
Technology plays a critical role in the management of health care, the system, its delivery and its organizations. This book examines the role of technology in the delivery of health care by physicians and other health care workers, and their respective roles in the management of health care technology. The complexity of the health care environment and the difficulties in managing technology in general (and in health care in particular) makes this book a landmark exploration for the purpose of creating in-roads into the largely uncharted territory of health care technology. The chapters in this book will introduce the horizons that are open for scholarly pursuit in this area. Managing Technology in Healthcare has two main objectives. First, to provide the reader with an overview of the main issues of concern and the topics of study in managing technology in health care. Second, to offer the reader specific knowledge embedded in the eleven chapters of the book, covering a broad range of topics of interest to health care and to R&D/technology scholars and practitioners.
