Gershman and Huck photographed Albanians of all faiths, but Gershman chose to include only Muslim Albanians in his book
///
Albanians as a whole, can certainly be proud.
but, as was said, besa has nothing to do with the Koran.
and i’ll wager most of the Muslims that photographer ended up with, were secular non-practicing muslims,
who probably had never even read the Koran.
( the Imam i studied with, told me even most Muslims today,
have never read the Koran.)
... and certainly CNN would never report about the Nazi SS units made up of Albanian Muslims...

While only 200 Jews lived in Albania before the war, there were 3,000 living there by its conclusion, Huck said. Albania's King Zog instructed all his country's foreign embassies to provide a visa to any Jew wishing to immigrate, and Albania was the only country in Europe that had more Jews at the end of the war than at the beginning.

King Zog had to flee Albania when Italy invaded the country in 1939, so Jews would subsequently have been unable to use these documents to immigrate there. But Jews from surrounding countries apparently fled to Albania, where they were protected by the local population.
