The documentary film "Turkish Passport", which tells the story of Turkish diplomats' struggle for peace during the Second World War and how they risked their own lives and careers, continues to make an impact. The documentary "Turkish Passport", which tells of the Turkish diplomats who saved Jewish citizens from genocide by giving them Turkish passports during the years of the greatest genocide in history, won the Best Feature Film Award at the Jewish Eye World Film Festival.

Making striking statements about the documentary, filmed with the support and consultancy of the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Communication and highly acclaimed by authorities after its screening, Bahçeşehir University Chair of the Board of Trustees Enver Yücel emphasized the importance of university leaders acting in ways that encourage a culture of living together. Yücel said: "Turkish Passport tells of the efforts made to save Jews living in Europe by Turkish diplomats who, in one of the most shameful periods in human history, chose not to remain indifferent to the atrocities being committed, without discrimination of religion, language or race. I think this documentary film is a document to be watched as a lesson, especially in recent years when Holocaust denial has been on the rise." Stating that he believes the memory of the Holocaust, which the human mind struggles to comprehend, must be kept alive and commemorated every year so that it is never repeated, Yücel said that, as Bahçeşehir University, they are very pleased to be part of this documentary.
