Today, I want to highlight Abdol Hossein Sardari, an Iranian diplomat whose story few people may know — but it should inspire anyone who cares about courage and conscience. I came across him while searching for Iranian heroes from history.

A Maryland milestone this week: 200 years ago, the General Assembly passed the “Jew Bill,” formally titled “An Act to extend to the sect of people professing the Jewish religion the same rights and privileges enjoyed by Christians.”

Reading about Khaled Abdul‑Wahab, a Tunisian Muslim who helped save Jews during the Holocaust. His story isn’t widely known, so I think it’s worth sharing. Although saving Jews in Tunisia wasn't illegal at the time, he still put himself at risk.

Today in history, 1925: In a speech to the Italian Chamber of Deputies, Benito Mussolini declared that he had a right to supreme power, effectively marking the beginning of his absolute dictatorship. “Il Duce” remained in power until he was arrested and summarily shot in 1945. /1

Today in history, 1917: Almost 10,000 African Americans march silently down Fifth Avenue to protest lynching and other violence. Organized by the NAACP and others, the march was precipitated by the East St. Louis riots, where at least 40 black people were killed by white mobs. /1

After reading about Khaled Abdul-Wahab, @ljc291 mentioned the Hardaga family. I looked for more info. Zejneba Hardaga in Sarajevo, with her family, sheltered the Kavilio family, a Jewish family, after their home was destroyed in WWII bombings.
