Thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated, this little-known story relates how Parisian Muslims helped Jews evade the Holocaust.
The brave rescuers managed this by hiding them in the Grand Mosque involves counterfeit documents, a secret language (Kabyle, a Berber dialect), subterranean passageways, and clever tactics to delay searches (like requiring soldiers to remove their boots before entering the mosque).
