“President Erdogan received the Jewish Medal for Outstanding Courage, his claim is manipulation.
There is clear manipulation of the images used as a basis for the claim that has been circulating for years, and which has returned to the forefront again with the Israeli attacks on Palestine.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “Courage to Care Award” is an award given to honor Jewish rescuers during the Holocaust.
Therefore, the presentation of this award in 2005 was not on behalf of our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but on behalf of the Turkish diplomats who saved some Jews from genocide during the Holocaust (1933-1945).
Speaking to the Turkish press about the photos that were the subject of discussion in 2014, Anti-Defamation League officials said: “We delivered this plaque of appreciation to the prime minister, but this plaque was actually presented in memory of Turkish diplomats who are not alive today.” With a statement.
“The award was named in 2011 after Polish diplomat Jan Karski, who was a soldier during World War II.”
