Note: Not only did Morocco's King Mohammed protect his
Jewish subjects from the Nazis under the Vichy
occupation. As the documentary film described below
attests, so did the Muslims of Paris protect and save
French Jews during WW II.

This movie is being shown in San Francisco.

Their Children Are Like Our Own Children
A Forgotten Resistance: The Mosque of Paris
A documentary by Derri Berkani
(26 minutes; in French with English subtitles)

Jews and Muslims have often lived and acted in harmony. During World War II, Muslims in occupied 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.

Dr. Annette Herskovits, who survived the holocaust as a child in France thanks to a clandestine rescue network, will present the film, tell her own story, and speak about the vital (and little known) role
played by Muslims from France's colonies in the struggle against the Nazis.
