Abstract:
Under the secular Kemalist republic, all of the Turkish citizens enjoyed civil rights, so socio-religious discrimination took on a nationalist character. Non-Muslim minorities were pressured to adopt the Turkish language and culture. Anti-Jewish campaigns took place in 1927 and 1930. The government halted the riots in Thrace which broke out in 1934, suppressed C.R. Atilhan's antisemitic newspaper "Anadolu", and accepted a small number of Jewish refugees from Germany. However, the German advance into Russia, and Nazi propaganda, led to an increase in antisemitism in Turkey during World War II. There was discrimination in the army and a punitive tax on minorities in 1942. Jews who refused to pay the tax were sent to the mines in eastern Anatolia, where they were liberated by Russian troops in 1943.
