Dear Friend,
Each year, on January 27, the United Nations observes International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 2014, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Albania to the United Nations, under the direction of Ambassador Ferit Hoxha and with the support of B’nai B’rith International, held the first program on the unique role that Albanians played in rescuing European Jewry during World War II. Shirley Cloyes DioGuardi’s speech explained why and how Albanians in Albania and Kosova saved at least 3,000 Jews from the Nazis and how the Albanian rescue of European Jewry came to be revealed in 1990, when Congressmen Tom Lantos and Joe DioGuardi visited Communist Albania as the first US officials to enter the country in fifty years.
At this year’s UN observation, on January 31, 2019, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Albania to the United Nations, under the direction of Ambassador Besiana Kadare, and with the support of the World Jewish Congress, held a briefing on the Albanian rescue of Jews during the Holocaust that excluded the important role that Albanians in Kosova played in saving hundreds of Jews. At the end of the event, former Congressman Joe DioGuardi disclosed the unique role that Albanians in Kosova played in rescuing Jews during the Holocaust.

Sincerely,
