Albania's sole Jewish history museum reopened in southern Berat on Sunday, thanks to a businessman who rescued it from the brink of closure.
The small "Solomon Museum", which tells the story of how Albanians sheltered hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust, was the passion project of a local professor, Simon Vrusho.
Vrusho opened the museum in 2018 and funded it with small donations left in a box by the door -- and his own pension.
