I was in Yesilkoy during the 1986 Neve Shalom massacre [see 1986 Terrorist Attack on the Neve Shalom Synagogue [24]. A Jewish neighbor of mine told me about it. Then I turned on the TV and learned everything from the news.
I was at my sons' when the 2003 Bombing [of the Istanbul synagogues] [25] happened. The roads were closed on my return. The buses weren't working. When I came to Osmanbey, I asked the people in the street and they told me, 'the synagogue has been bombed.' I spent the rest of the day in front of the TV. At first I couldn't even react, but the Muslim boy who works for me got very angry because they had bombed a place of prayer.
