‘Among the Righteous:’ Arabs Saving Jews in the Holocaust | The Middle East Channel
“Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust in Arab lands,” is a new documentary I made in partnership with MacNeil-Lehrer Productions, airing tonight on PBS. It retells largely forgotten stories from World War II in North Africa of Arabs who saved their Jewish neighbors from the Holocaust — a story which Holocaust historiography has largely left untouched. The documentary digs into history to uncover not only cases of Jewish persecution in North Africa similar to the Jewish experience in Europe, but also stories of the “righteous” Arabs that protected Jews. Filmed in eight different countries stretching from Morocco to Israel, the documentary reveals surprising discoveries about the past that can help challenge how Arabs and Jews alike view this part of Holocaust history.The documentary airs tonight on PBS at 10 p.m. eastern time.

I was Jewish before becoming a Muslim. The Jewish people, who study the Holocaust, are very well aware of the role of their Arab neighbors, as well as others, who helped during WWII. However, it is beautiful that someone is doing a documentary, so others can know, too.
The media, as well as some people on both sides (Arab/Jew), love to divide and keep disunity between Arabs and Jews for political reasons. Peace loving Arabs and Jews know that we are the same people, and more alike than not alike.
JAK for informing us. I will look for the documentary.

I left a comment, but it looks like it didn’t go through
Anyhow, I was Jewish before becoming a Muslim. Jewish people know that Arabs (as well as others) helped them. But, now it’s nice that this documentary will show the rest of the world. The media and certain people on both sides (Jew/Arab) like to break the unity. We are the same people and have shared the same part of the world for a very long time. It’s very sad that Zionism came along and ruined all of that.
