Namık Kemal Yolga (1914–2001) was a Turkish diplomat and statesman. During World War II, Yolga was the Vice-Consul at the Turkish Embassy in Paris, France. He claimed to have saved the lives of Turkish Jews from the Nazis but this has been challenged due to lack of evidence. In fact, evidence suggests that Yolga was actually instrumental in stripping France-born Turkish Jews of citizenship, which could have saved them from the Holocaust. He has been given a self-congratulatory award by the Turkish government and a Jewish foundation in Turkey heavily affiliated with the state.

  • Namık Kemal Yolga (* 7. Dezember 1914 in Elazığ, Ostanatolien; † 21. Dezember 2001) war ein türkischer Diplomat und Staatsmann. Nach eigenen Berichten war er an der Rettung fast aller in Paris lebenden, türkischer Juden vor dem Holocaust beteiligt. Deshalb wurde und wird er in einigen türkischen und ausländischen Medien ebenso als türkischer Schindler bezeichnet, wie seine zur gleichen Zeit in Frankreich tätigen Landsleute und Kollegen Behiç Erkin und Necdet Kent.

  • Namık Kemal Yolga (1914 – 2001) è stato un diplomatico turco. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale era viceconsole presso l'ambasciata turca a Parigi. Ha affermato di aver salvato le vite degli ebrei turchi dai nazisti, ma è stato contestato per mancanza di prove. In effetti, le prove suggeriscono che sia stato determinante nel privare gli ebrei turchi nati in Francia della loro cittadinanza e quindi in tal modo avrebbe potuto salvarli dall'Olocausto. Ha ricevuto un premio dal governo turco e da una fondazione ebraica in Turchia (it)
  • Namık Kemal Yolga (1914 - 21 décembre 2001) est un diplomate turc. Il était vice-consul de l'ambassade de Turquie en France sous le régime de Vichy, nommé en 1940, deux mois avant l'invasion de la France par Hitler. Il a tenté de sauver des Juifs résidant en France en leur donnant le passeport turc, pour leur éviter la déportation. En réalité, selon le Mémorial de la Déportation des Juifs de France de Serge Klarsfeld, 1 300 juifs turcs, dont 939 étaient reconnus comme tels par les Allemands, ont été déportés. Bien après son poste de vice-consul en France, il y est ambassadeur de 1965 à 1966. (fr)
