Rexhep Hoxha

Biography

Rexhep Hoxha (b: 1950) lives in Albania's capital city of Tirana with his wife Bardha, son Ermal and daughter Romira, and owns a small toy store. His father sheltered the Aladjem family for 14 months during WWII, and promised to safeguard their Hebrew prayer books until they could be returned. Rexhep's quest to fulfill his father’s besa (promise) brings a contemporary twist to the telling of Albania's remarkable history in rescuing Jews in WWII.
