The Father Bill O’Donnell Social Justice Committee is honored to host Dr. Annette Herskovits who will present this half-hour documentary by Derri Berkani and talk about her own harrowing experience as a child, barely escaping the Nazis because she was protected by _MUSLIMS_ in Occupied France during WWII. ARABS/MUSLIMS also protected European Jews in North Africa, most notably in Morocco.
Jews and Muslims have often lived and acted in harmony [especially before the Zionist state of Israel was imposed in Palestine]. During WWII, MUSLIMS in France protected Jews from deportation to Nazi death camps. The Paris MOSQUE became a refuge for anyone hiding from the German occupiers, including Jews, many of them children. The mosque’s rector even provided false birth certificates “proving” that Jews were MUSLIMS. Solidarity between Jews and Muslims FLOURISHED beyond the mosque.
The film’s director found a leaflet distributed by Algerian workers after Paris police conducted the first massive round-up of Jews. It said: ‘The Jews are our brothers, and their children are like our own children.”
"A Forgotten Resistance: The Mosque of Paris", a documentary directed by Derri Berkani; in French with English subtitles. Approx. 30 minutes.

[ So, ARABS/MUSLIMS _PROTECTED_ JEWS from the goosesteppers and were pretty good at resisting the Nazi attempt to exterminate all the Jews (who lived there or fled there) in France. Of course, this is in addition to the fact that during the Inquisition Jews went/fled to the _ARAB_ world for safety. Historically, Jews often went to the Arab/Muslim world for safety. And before Zionism – and the European Zionist colonial invasion – Arabs and Jews lived in fair peace in Palestine. Jewish/Israeli academics KNOW all this.
WHERE'S Hollywood's and Broadway's 'Anne Frank', or rather 'Anne François' stories about the French Muslims? Why don't any of those prominent Hollywood and Broadway Jewish directors and producers do a movie or play about that!? OR DOES THAT NOT FIT AMERICA'S/EUROPE'S RACIST ARAB/MUSLIM STEREOTYPES?
WHERE *ARE* YOU, STEVEN SPIELBERG!?...
Funny those MORONIC Jewish _Arab-haters_ and "Al-Nakba" (the Palestinian "The Catastrophe") deniers never seem to post comments and rail against the Christians! Christians have killed – often gleefully and sadistically torturing first – literally MILLIONS more Jews than Arabs/Muslims ever have killed. It wasn't even Arabs/Muslims who threw the ancient Hebrews out of Palestine – it was Europeans! And WHO oh WHO led to the Jews being thrown out of ancient Palestine anyway??? Yeah, those Muslims and Arabs 'just hate Jews because Jews are Jews', don't they? And look what (Zionist) Jews have done in return. ]
