Albania was the only German-occupied country where the Jewish population increased during WWII, mostly thanks to efforts by locals to hide Jews in accordance with their duty under a tradition called Besa. #HolocaustMemorialDaypic.twitter.com/BENVpYwbxR
Wow, this same tradition of hospitality in #Afghanistan is called “melmastya”.

It is an old tradition and it doesn't only apply to a refugee but a guest too. One example I can easily bring is my own grandfather hosting an Afghan fellow back even though they didn't know each other. It is a shame it is getting forgotten.
