“Free Men” - a film about how Muslims sheltered Jews from Holocaust

Full Story: New York Times

The world today is torn apart due to religious ambiguities and  intolerance. But there have been times when people of different religions lived in peace and harmony and helped others from being harmed. A recent French film "Les Hommes Libres” (“Free Men”) shows one such event in which Muslims of France actually protected dozens of Jews by sheltering them in the Grand Mosque of Paris, showing them as Muslims, so as not be taken over by the German occupation forces during WW-II. The Muslim cleric of the mosque even issued certificates to these Jews to be Muslims to allow their free movement in the streets of Paris.
