In several countries these days, quite a few events are taking place on the anniversary of the Holocaust (Ha-Shoa).
Albania has been recognized over the years to have played an important role in saving Jews from extermination in Europe during World War II. As documented also at the Jewish museums in Washington and New York, several Albanian individuals and families have been honored for putting their own life at stake to accomplish this deed, which came natural to them because of their own ethical, and ancient code of honor, the “Besa”.
Having met a couple of these people myself, it’s nice to see some of their stories also resurface online.
