Abstract

[The relationship between ‘Turkish’ Jews and the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic is marked by immigration and emigration. Between 1890 and 1935, more than 50,000 Jews the Ottoman Empire/the Turkish Republic for the Americas and Europe. In many European countries, the Turkish Jews arriving during the interwar period constituted the first generation of “Turkish immigrants”. In their new countries of residence, they established Turkish-Jewish communities, religious, social and cultural organizations. Drawing on publications, personal letters and archival documents “The Ties that Bind us to Turkey” focuses on their view and expectations of Turkey. Although Turkey’s nationalist policy was one of the main reasons for Turkish Jews to leave the country, many of these Turkish-Jewish emigrants and their representatives maintained a positive view of their home country. During World War II and the Holocaust years, receiving protection from Turkish representatives would have made a crucial difference for the Turkish Jews. But the positive expectations of many proved illusory.]
