London Mosque Cancels Muslim Holocaust Heroes Exhibit
(Jewish News-UK) A planned exhibition at the Centre for Islamic Understanding, a Golders Green mosque, celebrating Muslim Albanians who helped, protected and rescued their Jewish neighbors during the Holocaust, has been scrapped after opponents of the exhibit, including Roshan Salih, editor of British Muslim news site 5 Pillars, urged a boycott. Rabbi Natan Levy, head of operations at Faith Forums for London and one of the organizers behind the event, called the exhibition "a powerful reminder that during the Jewish community's darkest hour, the Muslim community in Albania were one of the few who did not stand by when the Nazis attempted to eradicate Jewish neighbors. It's important to remember we have historically supported each other."
