History of the Jews in Albania
The history of the Jews in Albania dates back about 2,000 years.
According to historian Apostol Kotani (''Albania and the Jews''): "Jews may have first arrived in Albania as early as 70 C.E. as captives on Roman ships that washed up on the country's southern shores...descendants of these captives that would build the first synagogue in the southern port city of Sarandë in the fifth century...() Little is know about the Jewish community in the area until the 15th century."
==Introduction==
Present-day Albanian Jews, predominantly Sephardi, have in modern times only constituted a very small percentage of the population; during World War II, Albania was one of the very few countries in Europe to see an increase in its Jewish population. During the communist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha, the Socialist People's Republic of Albania banned all religions, including Judaism, in adherence to the doctrine of state atheism. In the post-communist era, these policies have been abandoned and the freedom of religion is permitted, although the number of practicing Jews in Albania is today very small, with many Jews having made aliyah to Israel.
In World War II, no Albanian Jews were turned over to the Germans. After the Italian and German occupation of Albania, the Jewish population actually increased thanks to assistance by both Muslims and Christians.〔http://www1.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%205725.pdf〕〔http://www1.yadvashem.org/yv/en/righteous/stories/historical_background/albania.asp〕
