Cultural Day Trip to the Holocaust Museum Houston
Norman Gershman, a Colorado-based photographer, captured an act of selfless service by Albanian Muslims, the unsung heroes who rescued the Jews during World War II. Gershman explained, “There was no government conspiracy, no underground railroad, no organized resistance of any kind - only individual Albanians, acting alone, to save the lives of people whose lives were in immediate danger.”
