Description
The article briefly discusses the Albanian people's role in saving their Jews and Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. The full picture of this rescue only emerged in the early 1990s after the collapse of a repressive Communist government. Albania had practical reasons for wanting this story known as the country was seeking membership in the European Union.
