Dario Miccoli. The recent book A Sephardi Turkish Patriot: Gad Franco in the Turmoil of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic by Anthony Gad Bigio is an example of effective balance between historical research and family memoir, or between the collective and singular dimension. The book tells the story of the Jews of the late Ottoman Empire and of early Republican Turkey through the life of Bigio’s maternal grandfather – the prominent journalist and jurist Gad Franco (1881-1954).
