Polish Diplomat in Istanbul Rescued Hundreds of Jews in Holocaust
(Israel Hayom) Eldad Beck - Wojciech Rychlewicz was the head of the Polish Consulate General in Istanbul in the early years of WWII and was responsible for the rescue of Polish Jews who fled from the Nazis and the Soviets. Rychlewicz issued hundreds of false official documents confirming that Jewish refugees who arrived in Turkey were Christians. This enabled hundreds, possibly thousands, to emigrate to countries in Latin America and then-British Palestine.
