What I see the last years in threads and posts is - how anti-fashists were the Fyromians and how they fought the Germans. They saved the Jews too. - how anti-fashists were the Albanians and how they fought the Germans. They saved the Jews too - how anti-fashists were the Bulgarians and how they fought the Germans. They saved the Jews too - how anti-fashists were the Turks and how they fought the Germans. They saved the Jews too - how anti-fashists were the Italians and how they fought the Germans. They saved the Jews too ... my question is... who were the Axis allies finally since all as it seems fought against the German and Fashism in WW2? ;D ;D

Here in NY there is a monument to the Holocaust and the names of European countries that saved Jews during WWII, meaning came out with a larger Jewish population. Albania is on it and a small other number of nations. The same thing in Israel.

Those are some very interesting stories. My favorite is that old grandmother with the husbands portrait. Because they remind me of my own family.

The Albanians saved about 40 jews. Jews saved their asses during ww2 from germans as same everybody else did. There is jewish propaganda that now days want playing and bother germans with albanians by saying that Albania saved jews.

Those are some very interesting stories. My favorite is that old grandmother with the husbands portrait. Because they remind me of my own family. My grandfather's cousin hid Jews in his estate during the war, about 5 families from Austria who had escaped into Albania. Interestingly he ended up falling in love with one of the girls and they married. When the war ended the family left but the girl stayed. However, by the 1950s, Enver allowed all the rest of the Jews to leave Albania and go either to Israel or back to their own country. She ended up going, hoping to get my granduncle across as well, she failed and went alone... But because of her today I managed to see my maternal family name on a book written about the rescue of Jews in Albania. Pretty interesting, I only heard the story recently.

Kanaris the envious Greek. 80% of the Jews in Greece were exterminated. So was twenty percent of the Greek population. At least Greece opposed the axis powers militarily and politically. Where was Albania at this time? You guys could have been a great help to Greece.

Let me guess the Catholic Highlanders, and the Ghegs, and the Maloks, and the sheep herders, and the Bektashi, and the etcc... etc.... etc.... all these six foot tall militant warriors were battling it out with axis powers and saving jews?

I notice some jealousy. We saved our jews you killed yours simple as that. Blame Kanaris for this turning into another Greek-Albanian flame thread. By the way I'm supposed to be Catholic on one side ( whatever that's supposed to mean) and muslim on the other side (whatever that's supposed to mean). Catholic side is from the north. Muslim side from the south (about 2 hours drive from the Greek border.) Just as an average observation; the northern side are way taller than the southern side. It has to do with geography and not religion. Males are more than 6 foot tall on average. That's just one case and that's just my family though.

Its not jealousy, they just love to troll and have a hard time believing Albanians are actually a caring people. They are annoyed that if a Greek ran to Albania, fleeing Nazis, we would hand him over and personally escort him to the death camp... and watch over him to make sure he enters the 'proper' shower.

I also feel some jealousy here around, together with -as usual- a desire to divide...
