During World War II, Necdet Kent and Selahattin Ulkumen risked their own lives to save Turkish Jews from being deported.
They have both been declared Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.

I read a quote once that I try to live by, it is: “Do the right thing even if that means you stand alone.”
I admire these people so much for doing the right thing.
Sending you love my friend, Nita

I admire them, also.
Hugs and Love to you.
