Berat, Albania

Published on: Thursday 16 March 2023

Old stone houses line the banks of the Osumi River in Berat, enveloping visitors in the historical beauty of the town. This year marks the 80th anniversary of German forces arriving in Albania during World War II, and of the people of Berat protecting many of the country’s Jews who sought refuge—illustrating the principle of the Albanian code of Besa which states the home is first and foremost for guests and God. To better understand the story of Berat’s 400 years of Jewish history, including how Albania became the only country in Europe whose Jewish population increased during WW II, a visit to The Solomoni Museum is in order.
