My family was not affected too much by the Wealth Tax in 1942. [8]  I was affected because I was working then.  I do not really remember about my father.  He wasn’t a businessman, so they probably taxed him as a “worker”, like they did me.  The Wealth Tax did not affect those who were not businessmen too much.  They taxed me for a certain amount and I paid, but it wasn’t too much as I did not own a shop or anything.  However, I know that they asked exorbitant amounts of money from those who owned businesses.  And they sent those who couldn’t pay to work camps in Eastern Anatolia.
