The Jewish community of Albania, modest in size, was composed mainly of Sephardim settled during the Ottoman period, notably in cities such as Vlorë and Berat. It lived by trade and crafts and maintained its own religious life. The most notable feature of its history lies in the Second World War: in this majority-Muslim country, the local population, invoking in particular the traditional code of honor (the Besa) prescribing the protection of the guest, hid and protected Jews, whether indigenous or refugees. As a result, almost all Jews present in Albania survived the Shoah. The majority subsequently emigrated, notably to Israel, after the fall of the communist regime.
