Turkish American National Steering Committee will organize an exhibition about the stories of nine Turkish Diplomats. The stories represent diversity: Different countries of origin, various countries, they operated different types of rescue actions taken in various stages of the Holocaust. 
The evening will honor Turkish diplomats: Selahattin Ulkumen who served as the Turkish Consul General in Rhodes, Greece; Necdet Kent who served as Vice-Consul in Marseilles, France; Namik Kemal Yolga, who served as Vice-Consul at the Turkish Embassy in Paris, France; and Behic Erkin who served as the Turkish Ambassador to Paris, France for their selfless work to rescue thousands of Jewish people during WWII.
