Norman Gershman has been a photographer for over 30 years. In 2002, Norman was doing research for a photo essay on righteous gentiles – non-Jews, who rescued Jews during the Holocaust. He heard about the unique story of Albanian bravery during WWII: that the entire country, including the government, refused to collaborate with the Nazis, even while under a brutal occupation.
