AKI - Adnkronos international Italy: Exhibition marks Muslims who saved Jews in WW2

Rome, 19 Sept. (AKI) - An exhibition commemorating Muslims who saved Jews during World War II opened the capital Rome this week during the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Two Bosnian Muslims, three Albanians, two Turks and one Iranian are among those who under the Nazi occupation during World War II helped Jews escape arrest and transfer to concentration camps.

The aim of the exhibition is to "fight all the violent and radical tendencies that have unfortunately emerged in the name of religion and Islam in particular," said Khalid Chaouki, director of Minareto.it , an Italian Muslim web-portal.

The Italian Muslim Youth Association is organising the exhibition and a series of debates taking place in the historic Santa Cecilia convent in Rome's central Trastevere district.

The event runs until the end of Ramadan on 1 October.
