Albanians sheltered Jews better than any other occupied European people

Evidence

Perhaps not coincidentally, the Albanians’ record with regard to the Jews during the Holocaust was about the best in all of Nazi-occupied Europe: Albanians sheltered Jews more solidly than almost any other occupied people. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 1051

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: The ‘Besa’ honor-code explanation for sheltering Jews parallels the mechanism-style arguments in the already-published essays about how local social codes shape behavior toward outsiders.
• SHARE: Send to anyone interested in Holocaust rescue narratives or Albanian history; the detail that only two cases of capture occurred in the whole country is striking.
