"Marc Baer is a major scholar of Ottoman Jewish history, and in
this manuscript he demonstrates not only his erudition and
knowledge of the sources but his courage on confronting a major
myth of Ottoman history and current Turkish politics: the tolerance
and defense of Jews by the Ottoman and Turkish state."—Ronald
Grigor Suny, editor of A Question of Genocide

denial in Turkey through the empirical study of not only
antisemitism, but also its connection to genocide denial."—Fatma
Müge Göçek, author of The Transformation of Turkey
