5. O Having a common enemy, German Nazism,
Jews also took the side of the Albanian people
in the fight against Nazi-fascism. Even after
leaving Albania for their permanent
settlements, the Jews did not forget what the
Albanian people did for them. In a greeting
letter made by the Yugoslav Jewish
Committee, it was written: "In the history of
this world war there will remain a small, but
generous and heroic people, the Albanian
people, who will be marked as the only one
among the occupied peoples of Europe that
hindered and prevented the extermination and
pursuit of the Jews. "

6. O Albania had about 200 Jews at the beginning of
the Second World War. It then became a safe
haven for several hundred Jewish refugees
from other countries. At the Wannsee
Conference in 1942, Adolf Eichmann, the
designer of the mass murder of Jews across
Europe, praised the number of Jews in Albania
who would be killed by 200. However, Jews in
Albania are protected by the local population
and this protection continued even after the
invasion of Albania by the Nazi forces, following
the capitulation of Italy in September 1943. At
the end of the war, Albania had a population of
2,000 Jews.
