N Albania’s prime minister announced plans to open a museum in Tirana dedicated to
the stories of its citizens who saved Jews during the Holocaust, JTA.org reported.

The museum also will honor Jewish history and culture, Prime Minister Edi Rama
announced on March 1 while on a state visit to Jerusalem.

The Besa Museum will be named after the strict neighborly honor code that
Albanians say motivated them to protect their Jewish neighbors during World War
II. Though Albania was occupied by both fascist Italy and later Nazi Germany, its
Jewish population grew throughout the war, more than tripling as refugees fl ocked
there from around Europe.

Albania’s embassy in Berlin issued false identity papers to Jews, and many locals
hid them in their houses. Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust remembrance authority, has
recognized at least 75 individuals as Righteous Among the Nations for saving Jews.

“The rescue of the Jews during World War II is one of the most beautiful pages in
the history of the Albanians. Christians and Muslims sacrifi ced everything to protect
them,” said Elva Margariti, Albania’s minister of culture. “For Albanians, this is besa;
it is a value that we will pass on to our children, telling them this extraordinary story.”
