The Albanian Code

During the Holocaust, the Albanian code of besa, or pledge of honor, was demonstrated by those who helped and protected the less fortunate - including thousands of Jews. This uplifting documentary affords a broad view of these little-known heroes while also providing first-person perspectives from those saved and the Albanians who helped them. “[It] is a journey to say thank you,” says the director, “to the Albanian people, who behaved differently from all of Europe.” (San Diego Jewish Film Festival)
