Here is a story we seldom heard anywhere. After a talk I gave this past Saturday in Carbondale, Colorado about who speaks for Islam, I was approached by a fascinating photographer, Norman Gershman, whose work has been featured in the United Nations and well-known museums around the world. His latest exhibit and book are about Muslim Albanians and Kosovars who provided shelter to Jewish families at grave peril to themselves during WWII. I've been reading the book, Besa: Muslims who Saved Jews in World War II, and it's an excellent, moving account of a hidden piece of history everyone should read about, particularly Muslims and Jews today. I wish we had a Steven Spielberg to popularize this story too. Gershman's work is eloquent, penetrating and a refreshing reminder of our common humanity. You can hear him speak about these courageous Muslims in the video below.
