Sardari was determined to free the Iranian Jews and get them out of France immediately. He did so by making use of his political position. He argued that the Iranian Jews do not belong to Hitler's “enemy race”. He testified that they are not Jewish; that they are in fact “Djougoutes”. He argued that they were not of Jewish descendancy and that in Iran, they have the same civil, legal, and military rights and responsibilities as Muslims. As it turned out, many senior Nazis in Berlin, saw things his way. Though he formulated this argument in hopes of sparing the Iranian Jews, he did just as much to help non-Iranian Jews escape the horrors of the war.
