2) Besa: Muslims Who Saved Jews in World War II

Norman Gershman has become accustomed to the reactions from people who see his photos and read his stories about Muslims sheltering Jews and saving their lives during the Holocaust.
"I had people say 'Muslims save Jews! How is that?'" the American Jewish fine art photographer told IslamOnline.net in a telephone interview.

Gershman has been engaged in a 5-year project that honors stories of Albanian Muslims' heroism in saving thousands of Jews, who either lived in Albania or sought refugee there, during World War II.

The "BESA a code of honor" project began when he was seeking out photographs of righteous, non-Jews who helped Jews during the Holocaust, in New York.

Gershman was amazed to find among them Muslim names that he was told belongs to Albanians.


Was it the ancient guest code of Besa or the writings of the Koran that led them to literally put their lives above a stranger in need? Gershman and award-winning filmmaker Jason Williams present Gershmans astounding photographs and a sneak preview of the upcomng film God's House. Special guests will share remarkable insights and discuss this nearly forgotten story which will renew your faith in mankind's ability to do the right thing, and hopefully inspire others to look for the goodness in every human being..
