Albanian Muslims risked their lives to save 2,000 Jews from Nazis - Photo exhibit in Creve Coeur, Mi

With rising anti-Muslim sentiment across the United States, an untold World War II story is raising awareness about the Muslims and the teachings of the Quran. That awareness comes from an unlikely source: a Jewish congregation in Creve Coeur. Temple Emanuel is running an exhibit of photographs that showcases Albanian Muslims who rescued 2,000 Jews from the Nazis. It is a story told through the faces of Albanian Muslims who risked their own lives to live by a code of honor called Besa - an ancient code which expects people to endanger their lives if necessary to save the life of anyone seeking asylum.
