Summaries

When the Nazis occupied Albania, not a single Jew was betrayed by its citizens - mostly Muslims. An untold history that resonates today.

Besa: The Promise is the remarkable story of the Muslim men and women of Albania who saved the lives of nearly 2,000 Jews during World War II. Their stories are told through the prism of two men, one an Albanian Muslim, the other an American Jew, and the different, but equally remarkable journeys, that each must undertake.—CSR
