With rising anti-Muslim sentiment across the country, an untold story is raising greater awareness about the Muslim faith and the teachings of the Quran. That awareness comes from an unlikely source: a small Jewish congregation in Creve Coeur.

Temple Emanuel is premiering a groundbreaking exhibit of photos that reveals Albanian Muslims who saved 2,000 Jews during World War II.

Is not the Muslims who saved the Jews, but the Albanians.
Their spirit is bigger than any religion.
Is the eagle in their heart.
Is their being ALBANIANS.
