In 1948, when the nation of Israel was founded, an embassy was opened in Istanbul. When the flag was raised there for the first time, we went and savored the emotion like a lot of Jews did. The founding of Israel was very important for us. If it had been founded earlier, maybe Hitler wouldn’t have been able to accomplish all the things he did.
There were no special celebrations at homes, but cocktail parties were given at the embassy. The newspapers wrote about it too. We felt great happiness of course.
