| Summary: | Robert Satloff is an authority on Arab and Islamic politics and the director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He has written this fascinating and important study of the Arab response to the Holocaust in the hope that if Arabs learn about stories of fellow Arabs who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, current Arab antisemitism and Holocaust denial might subside. Over the course of four years, the author conducted extensive research and numerous interviews, and his travels took him to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and parts of Europe to discover Arab counterparts to Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg. He points out that, to date, Yad Vashem has never recognized an Arab as Righteous Among the Nations, though Muslims from Bosnia, Albania, and Turkey have been so honored. |
