Turkish Passport (Türk Pasaportu)

Türk Pasaportu (Turkish Passport, 2011) is a Turkish documentary-drama about the alleged efforts of diplomats serving in Turkish consulates across Europe during World War II to rescue Jews from the Holocaust. Directed by Burak Arlıel and Mete Akkuş from a screenplay by Deniz Yeşilgün and Gökhan Zincir, the film draws on eyewitness testimony alongside archival footage and written historical documents.

Its narrative centers on claims that Jews were pulled from trains bound for concentration camps, granted Turkish citizenship and passports, and sent safely to Türkiye. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2011 and was promoted as "the only Holocaust film with a happy ending". Its historical accuracy, however, has been sharply contested: historians such as Marc David Baer and Uğur Ümit Üngör argue the rescue accounts lack documentary support, with Baer calling it a propaganda film.
