On this day, 14 January 1914, Selahattin Ülkümen, a Muslim Turkish official who helped Jewish people escape the holocaust was born. While consul general of the island of Rhodes, when the Nazis ordered all Jews to be sent to the concentration camps, his intervention arguing that Turkish Jews had to be exempted managed to save the lives of 42 Jewish families. Shortly after, the Nazis bombed his home, killing his wife who had just given birth.
