The Grand Mosque of Paris: A Story of How Muslims Rescued Jews During the Holocaust

by Karen Gray Ruelle, Deborah Durland Desaix

Description

In the shadow of Nazi persecution, this powerful historical narrative reveals how Muslims in Paris—guided by compassion, faith, and moral courage—helped rescue Jews during the Holocaust. Drawing on documented accounts and vivid storytelling, it follows the efforts of individuals and communities who sheltered families, forged dangerous connections, and risked their own safety to protect others. More than a story of survival, it explores themes of solidarity across religious lines, the ethics of resistance, and the everyday choices that can turn humanity into action. Written with the clarity and emotional immediacy of narrative history, this book honors the people whose quiet bravery challenged hatred and saved lives.
