Before we
start talking about the connection about the story with the concept of unity, I
am going to talk about the story was about. The Grand Mosque of Paris is the
story of the Muslim community of Paris during the Nazi occupation of World War
II and their efforts to rescue Jews. The mosque constructed in 1926 had space
for a community center, library, restaurant, clinic and apartments for the
functionaries. It was built upon a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels and rooms,
areas that had been excavated for building stones for the city of Paris. These
underground passages and catacombs served as hiding places and escape routes
for those hunted by the French police and Gestapo. The rescue and escape of
Jews was under the leadership of the Rector, Si Kaddour Benghabrit, and a
sophisticated Algerianborn diplomat, who was considered the most powerful
Muslim in France at the time. The clerics provided sanctuary, certificates of
Muslim identity and safe passage for those who sought their help. It is noted
that at least 100 Jews, downed Allied airmen, Resistance fighters and escaped
prisoners of war, were also spirited to safety. These righteous saviors deserve
to be honored and their deeds told. The association between the key concept of
the unit (connections) with the story is that we can link the second war with
this story we can understand this story because we have seen this topic, and
the other key concept of the units that we can connects are Culture and Creativity.
Why these? Because in this story we see culture of the Jewish and also we can
see creativity to see how incredible they devised plans.
