A Muslim Schindler
Friday, January 19, 2007
A wonderful story. The Anti-Defamation League has honored an Albanian Muslim family that saved 26 Jews from the Nazis. On Thursday, the ADL posthumously awarded its Courage to Care award to Mefail and Njazi Bicaku, who sheltered Jews in the mountains of central Albania while the Nazis searched the area. The Bicakus already have been recognized by Israel and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, which awarded them its highest honor, the Righteous Among the Nations Award. “In the moral void that engulfed the world in those nightmare days when the cruelty of the Nazis ran rampant, the Bicaku family was among those few shining stars,” said Michael Salberg, the
ADL’s director of international affairs.
