Description
Argues that Holocaust denial in Arab regions may be more effectively countered if recognition is given to Arabs who helped or protected Jews during the Holocaust and if the fate of Jews in Arab lands, particularly North Africa, during WW II is given more thorough consideration. The author has uncovered numerous examples of Arabs who protected, assisted or actively saved Jews but as yet no Arabs have been included in the "Righteous Among the Nations". Some of these stories are included in this essay.
