Why did an Iranian Muslim save Jews in the Holocaust?

New channel alert https://www.youtube.com/@BigJewishIdeas
When people think of heroes of the Holocaust, they may think of Oskar Schindler, the German businessman who rescued over 1,200 Jews from the gas chambers.
But while Schindler was saving Jews in Poland, Abdol Hossein Sardari, was saving hundreds of Iranian Jews.
As the Consul General for Iran in Paris, Sardari brilliantly leveraged his connections with Nazi officers to deceive them. This bold strategy allowed him to issue hundreds of Iranian passports to Jewish refugees, enabling them to escape persecution and certain death.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.

About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.
