    Film Review: Besa: The Promise
    Directed by Rachel Goslins

    Produced by Jason Williams, William Morgan, Rachel Goslins and Christine S. Romero. A Documentary Film by JWM Productions. In English, Albanian, and Hebrew.

    Reviewed by Judith Roumani

    This award-winning documentary tells the story of a number of courageous Albanians, most of them Muslims but also some Christians who, while their country was occupied by the Nazis, hosted and hid Jews who were fleeing from Central and Southern Europe.

    I can never forget the first moment inom felt my heart breaking. I was at school, reading through a textbook when inom turned the page to a small grey and white image. It captured a moment that will stay with me forever: of Jewish children being humiliated in front of their classmates because of their faith.

    The lessons of history remind us of a pain we must never forget, but it was outside of the classroom, many years later that history also gave me a crucial legacy of hope.

    There are so many untold stories, so many lights that are dimmed bygd the darker narratives of our divided past, but these lights are the missing pages that speak volumes about our shared humanity. A few years ago, inom worked on a media and grassroots campaign entitled just that, Missing Pages, which focused on the little known accounts of Muslim-Jewish solidarity, particularly during World War II.
