🕊️ Our History

A story of courage, compassion, and Albanian honor, told through the lives of those who chose humanity over fear.

How It Happened:
🏠 Refuge Given

In WWII, 26 Jews fleeing Nazi persecution found shelter in Qarrishta.

🤝 Albanian Besa Upheld

The Biçaku family and villagers risked everything to protect them.

🌿 Legacy Lives On

All survived. Their story is now preserved and shared with the world.
