A Muslim family saved Jews during the holocaust. They were later saved by Jews during the Bosnia genocide!

During WWI, in April 1941, the Germans invaded Yugoslavia. The home of the Kavilio family was destroyed, they had fled when the bombing began and were left homeless.


As they ran they met Mustaga Hardaga, a friend of the family who offered the Kavilio family to stay at his house. Despite of being Muslims and holding traditions such as the women having to wear a veil and cover their faces in front of strangers, the family stated that they adopted the Kavilio family as part of their own family!


And to demonstrate this point the women were not obliged to cover their faces!


Fifty years after the Holocaust, the Kavilio family along with other families, was under the attack of Serb forces. Yad Vashem appealed to the President of Bosnia to permit them to come to Israel. They sheltered with a Jewish family and hence the favor was returned!Remember to always help others; someday you might need their help.
