 During the Second World War, Jews were concealed in the homes and basements of 60 families from the Muslim and Christian communities in Berat.Albania was the only European nation to have come out of the Second World War with a higher Jewish population at the end of the war than at the start of the war.Throughout Albania's communist rule under the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha, the Jewish community was isolated from the Jewish world, though this did not reflect specifically anti-Jewish measures.
