Article by Francois Azar

There were 100,000 Turkish Jews at the beginning of the century, but now there are only 10,000.

François Azar looks back at the history of a minority that has traditionally cultivated kayadez (discretion in the public space) but that plans to make itself more visible in Turkish society.
