The Jewish History of Albania

Throughout its history, Albania has stood up to anti-Semitism and bigotry. Albania was the only country in Europe to have a larger Jewish population at the end of the Holocaust than before the war, after valiantly protecting its own small Jewish community and sheltering Jewish refugees from throughout the region. In this special documentary, learn about Albania's harrowing efforts to save Jews during the Holocaust and how Albania continues this proud legacy of tolerance and coexistence today.
