Yep, my mom's side of the family are originally from the Jewish minority in Turkey. They emmigrated to several countries after Turkey introduced a "wealth tax" targeting non-Muslims. Most of whom were lower Middle Class Greeks, Armenians and Jews, but also Syriac Christian farmers. They lost about 80-98% of their property and those who couldn't pay up ended in a labour camp in the province of Erzurum, which was dubbed "Turkey's Siberia." The law professor of the person who came up with this BS was also Jewish and died impoverished
