Turkish Passport tells the story of diplomats posted to Turkish embassies and consulates in several European countries, who saved numerous Jews during the Second World War. Whether they pulled them out of Nazi concentration camps or took them off the trains that were taking them to the camps, the diplomats, in the end, ensured that the Jews who were Turkish citizens could return to Turkey and thus be saved. Based on the testimonies of witnesses who traveled to Istanbul to find safety, Turkish Passport also uses written historical documents and archive footage to tell this story of rescue and bring to light the events of the time. The diplomats saved not only the lives of Turkish Jews, but also rescued foreign Jews condemned to a certain death by giving them Turkish passports. In this dark period of history, their actions lit the candle of hope and allowed these people to travel to Turkey, where they found light. Through interviews conducted with surviving Jews who had boarded the trains traveling from France to Turkey, and talks with the diplomats and their families who saved their lives, the film demonstrates that "as long as good people are ready to act, evil cannot overcome".

Film documentaire sur le chef de la police saint-galloise Paul Grüninger. Avant la guerre, il a sauvé la vie de plusieurs centaines de réfugiés juifs autrichiens, raison pour laquelle il a été renvoyé et condamné par la justice. Le film se déroule dans la salle du tribunal de St-Gall où Grüninger a été jugé en octobre 1940. D'anciens réfugiés et émigrants juifs auxquels Grüninger a sauvé la vie viennent apporter leur témoignage. Après de nombreux refus de la part des autorités saint-galloises, Grüninger a finalement été réhabilité en automne 1996. Le film est en souvenir de cette réhabilitation tardive.
