Product Description
Works written on Moda from past to present have often included information about the Whittalls and Lafontaines of British origin, the Lorandos and Tubinis of Italian origin, and other Levantines as foreigners who settled in Moda, but the word "German" has only appeared when referring to the "German Camp." However, from the 1930s to the 1960s, a significant German colony, consisting of high-level academics and artists, lived in Moda; furthermore, some of their children still live there today.
Despite all political activity being prohibited in their employment contracts, German professors engaged in numerous clandestine activities in Moda in response to the Nazi tragedy. For instance, meetings with representatives of international espionage activities, anti-Nazi manifestos prepared for the Allies, discussions about assassinating Hitler, helping Jews escape from concentration camps, aiding convoys of Jewish refugees fleeing from Central Europe to be sent from Haydarpaşa by train to Iskenderun and Mersin ports, and from there to Palestine, collaboration with Father Roncalli (later known as the "Turkish Pope"), the Vatican representative in Istanbul, during these activities, joint efforts with international aid organizations assisting German refugees sent to Kırşehir, Çorum, and Yozgat after the diplomatic relations between Germany and Turkey were severed in 1944, the German Camp in Moda becoming a Gestapo center, and military training provided to youth and children, etc.
