The search is aimed at locating people who offered help and documenting their stories, said the Bosnian Jewish Community. The effort is part of a broader project to record the lives of Bosnia’s Muslim and Jewish communities over the past centuries.
Appearing on state TV, project leader Eli Tauber invited people to contact the Jewish Community or Bosnia’s Institute for the Research of Crimes Against Humanity, which is also involved in the project.

This project is extremely important nowadays when Bosnia is full of negative examples of who hates whom. It sends a message of coexistence and we want to show to all peoples in Bosnia that the life of one nation with another is sacred and has to be preserved, said Muhamed Mesic, of the institute, on Bosnian TV.[haaretz]
What Jewish leaders does article “info on Bosnians who aided Jews in Holocaust” refer to?
The ADL hosted an event earlier in the year to honor and thank a particular community of Albanian Moslems who during the Shoah hid Jewish families at great personal risk the result of which all survived. A remarkable and wonderful story.
HOWEVER, in regards to Bosnia let the search for rescuers during the Shoah not obscure or distract from todays reality as to the role and significance Bosnia as an Islamic entity in Europe is playing today. Aiding and abetting Islamic terrorist enterprise, serving as arms conduit in Islam’s war against the Jewish State. As well in fact a locus for the war against Western democratic countries, Christians. The amount of support for terrorist activities emanating from Bosnia – and significant role the propaganda war against the Christian Serbs effected via U.S. media primarily the NYTimes biased and sympathetic reporting put in place the structure effected in demonization campaigns against Israel. The Islamic propaganda machine againt Israel vis a vis “Palestinians” applied all that was learned in the propaganda war that supported Bosnian Moslems against Serbian Christians.
