dc.description.abstractThis paper would discuss the life of Selahattin Ulkumen, a Turkish diplomat, and his heroics in 1944 when he was responsible for rescuing the lives of 42 Jews while stationed at the Island of Rhodes in Greece. The heroics of Ulkumen needs to be known as many are aware of the atrocities of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany but people like Ulkumen tried, to the best of their abilities, to save the lives of as many people as they could. Such efforts should not be lost to time. This paper will go through the life of Selahattin before his role in the gallant feat, the history of the Island and how the diaspora of the place used to coexist before the war and deportation of the Jews, also the sacrifices Ulkumen made both on a personal and a professional level would be discussed and later in life how he was remembered for it from the world. It is important that efforts like these are remembered and in future this paper can be used to find more people like Selahattin Ulkumen who cared not for nationality or religion but helped everyone as human outright. The tales of people like them need to be commonplace to encourage people of modern age to remember the importance of humanity and to not allow atrocities of the same scale to happen again.en_US
dc.description.abstractBu makale, Türk diplomat Selahattin Ülkümen'in 1944 yılında Yunanistan'ın Rodos Adası'nda kırk iki Yahudi ailesinin hayatını kurtardığı dönemdeki kahramanlıkları üzerinde duracaktır. Bu kahramanlıkların anılması, birçok insanın Nazi Almanyası'ndaki Holokost vahşetinin farkında olmasına rağmen, Ülkümen gibileri ellerinden geleni yaparak olabildiğince insanın hayatını kurtarmaya çalıştıkları için önemlidir. Bu tür girişimler, tarihin arka sayfalarına karışmamalıdır. Bu çalışma Ülkümen'in kurtarıcılığından önceki hayatı, Ada'nın tarihi ve sürgünlerin nasıl savaş ve Yahudi tehcirinden önce gerçekleştiği üzerinde duracak ve ardından Ülkümen'in hem kişisel hem de profesyonel anlamda yaptığı fedakarlıklar sonucu dünya tarafından nasıl hatırlandığını ele alacaktır. Bu tür çabaların anımsanmasının büyük önem taşımasının yanısıra, bunlar, Selahattin Ülkümen gibi, millet ve dine önem vermeksizin, herkesi karşılıksız bir şekilde önemseyen birçok insanı bulma konusunda yardımcı olabilecektir. Bu tür kahramanlık hikayeleri, modern dönemin insanlarının insanlığın önemini hatırlayarak, bu tür zulümlerin bir daha yapılmasına izin vermemelerini sağlaması için yaygınlaşmalıdır.en_US
