In Albania and Kosovo, Muslims sheltered not only the Jews of their cities and villages but also thousands of Jews fleeing the Nazis from other European countries. This book reveals a hidden period in history, slowly emerging after the fall of an isolationist communist regime, and shows the compassionate side of ordinary people in saving Jews.
