Albanian Muslims Saved Jews during the Holocaust

As I teach a weekly class on antisemitism, I am forced to study and research all the evil done to my Jewish people. At times it is almost unbearable, but somebody must teach on this topic. So, it is with great pleasure and encouragement that I read about Muslims saving Jews during the Holocaust.

There is an on going exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance title: BESA: Albanian Muslims who saved Jews during the Holocaust. It is a breath of fresh air in a day and age when the whole world and in particular Islam is turning against Israel and the Jewish People.

I encourage all of you to attend and give it your support. (flyer here)

In the process of recognizing where the friends of Israel were and where they might be found today, we are still called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.

Matt. 5:44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.

This especially in light of today May 5 being the national Day of Prayer.
