workingclasshistory:

On this day, 29 October 1940 in France, Iranian Muslim diplomat Abdol Hossein Sardari wrote to Vichy collaborationist government officials to try to persuade them that Jews from Central Asia (Jugutis) were not technically Jewish under Nazi race laws. In 1943, as a result of his arguments, the Nazis eventually agreed and exempted them. Sardari began issuing Iranian passports to Jews, without the consent of his bosses, and helped up to 2,000 escape the regime. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.1819457841572691/2121817348003404/?type=3
