Righteous Muslim

Holocaust Memorial Day 2011 takes place next week and this year the theme is Untold Stories. A new book had been published by Faith Matters that is highly appropriate for this focus. Entitled 'The Role of Righteous Muslims' and edited by Fiyaz Mugal OBE and Esmond Rosen, the book reveals a large number of stories of Arabs and Muslims who saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Very little is in the public domain regarding these examples of human altruism and therefore this publication is an extremely valuable resource for education. Access to the publication can be gained through contacting Faith Matters:
