Besa

Summary: 

Norman Gershman traveled to Albania and heard the stories of the Muslim rescuers who saved around 2,000 jews During World War II. Young child, Aaron, was given to the Hoxha family, who were muslims, so that he could be saved. Aaron's father saved three books and gave them to Mr. Hoxha. Mr Hoxha then passed away but left those books to his son. Hoxha ended up meeting with Aaron in Israel. The audience learns that Aaron was given no affection by his parents and tears were brought to his eyes when the memories came flooding back. Fortunately, the Hoxha family gave Aaron that affection that his parents never gave him. 

Commentary:

Overall, I enjoyed this movie. At the beginning it was slow and hard for me to get into it. However, when they showed the train and how 100 people had to squeeze into them, I was astonished. Also when Hoxha and Aaron met, I was so overjoyed. I could not believe that they found one another and to see how much the books meant to Aaron and how he was so loved by the Hoxha family was great to see. He was separated from his parents and put into another home, which were not always so great, yet it was a great outcome for Aaron. This movie was very insightful.
