The Man Who Saved Jews But Got Little or no recognition. by Nice2023(m): 4:12pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
He was in charge of a mosque in Paris during World War II. He was originally born in Algeria before immigrating to France. When World War II broke out, Germany began deporting Jews from France to concentration camps. Si Kaddour began offering shelter to lots of Jews through willing Muslim families in the area. When German inspectors came, he would lie about the records of Jews, saying that they were Muslim. He eventually had cellars and basements in mosques where he would allow the Jews to hide during the war. He also gave them fake certificates that would certify that they were Muslim, enabling them to escape certain death. He had an open-door policy as well at his mosque. If any of the attendees had Jewish friends in need of refuge, they could bring them with them. Si Kaddour saved 500 Jews by the end of the war. He risked his life in the process. And most people don’t even know of him. 2 Likes 1 Share
