The Sultan Who Saved 250,000 Jews from the Nazis| Sultan Mohammed V of Morocco 

Thank you so much here from Israel, desperately searching for for ways to open a path for a way to peace, this is inspiring, finding new old forms of Jewish Muslim togetherness 🙏🏼

I am Jewish and this is an important story. Thank you.

Morocco is the land of prosperity peace and kindness Jews Cristian Muslims Arabs Amazigh live in peace

As a Im from Morocco The Jews lived very well in Morocco for the last 700 years .GOD bless the King and the people of Morocco.

It is humbling to hear of the Muslims saving Jews. The Vichy regime colloborating with the nazis is important to remeber. The Sultan was a wise and Godly man.

I go marroco and never i forget the hospitality.

Long live Morocco 🇲🇦

I went to Morocco many times people there will invite you to their houses and share with they have with you from my deep hearth I love Moroccan people what a country of hospitality and peace

What you do with your series is so critically important at this time. As being neither a Jew nor a Muslim, I thank you profoundly, and hope you keep this series going. The world needs more of this right now. Be well, safe travels,

As a proud loyal moroccan Jew, I believe the sacred souls of King Mohamed V together with his son King Hassan II peace be unto them reside in the loftiest heavens. Morocco is a beacon of light. Long live the Royal family.

Morocco has a rich history, one of the oldest kingdoms in the world beside England & Japan. Honestly one of the most hospitable and tolerant people in the world, in Morocco there is no difference between a Jew, Muslim or Christian or any other faith, it’s truly a magical country rich in culture, you have to visit to see it with your own eyes… Moroccan Jews are so proud to be Moroccan anywhere in the world you will ask where they are from even when they are born in other countries they will say first I’m Moroccan, love 🇲🇦

The protectorate ended in 1956 Sultan Mohamed V was sent to exile in Madagascar and after a rise up by the Moroccan population the French were forced to allow the king back November 16 1955. Thank you for this historical account that proves the intrinsic tolerance of Moroccans, populace and elite alike.

Hollywood should make a movie about this. Thank you for your humanity above all.

المملكة المغربية الشريفة مفخرة الإنتماء، هذا البلد الفريد منذ القدم يشهد له التاريخ إلى يومنا هذا بالتعايش و السلام والتقبل و الإنفتاح على مختلف الثقافات و الديانات السماوية المسلمون و اليهود في المغرب طالما عاشوا في سلام و إخاء بعيدا عن العنصرية وهذا ماقد أوصانا به الله عز وجل باحترام أهل الكتاب اليهود و النصارى شكرا لك سيدي الكريم على هذه الإلتفاتة الطيبة في حق السلطان الراحل محمد الخامس رحمه الله😊❤👑🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦♓❤️

Morocco will be always a land of peace, tolerance and coexistence 🇲🇦❤

A beautiful telling about an authority who really felt that the Jews, like the Moslems of Morocco, were his people to protect... Thank you!

I didn't know this.... he must have been a very good man. A good example of empathy for your fellow man, regardless of religion or race.

Respect for All Royal family of Morocco ❤️👑❤️❤️🇲🇦❤️

May Sultan Mohammed V be blessed in the next life!! Wonderfully told!! Thank you!!

i heard this story many times , the moroccans jews that come to israel always said how good was mohammed the 5 with the jewish community. thanks for sharing with the world

I love visiting Morocco, particularly Essaouira on the Atlantic, because the people are so very kind and friendly. Your video today is very interesting. Thank you.

God bless Morocco & the beautiful Amazigh people there 🇲🇦 ❤️

Peace and love Doctor from an American Jewish man who loved visiting Morocco and loves the beautiful and kindly people of Morocco. My holiday there was a lovely experience.

I learn something new, thank you for sharing.

learned this today...thank you from an italian

Thank you for sharing this history that I had never heard before. For whatever reason, this one man stood on his principles, his word and saved thousands of lives by taking a strong stand. It is on all of us to take a stand now and I pray that we too will save the lives of the innocent as much as we are possible, in whatever way is available to us, as well. May peace be upon you always. Amen.

My dear country has always been a land of peace and goodness, Welcome you all to morocco.

I don't know how this showed up in my feed? Thank you sir for this facinating story.! This gives me a new "rabbit hole" to dive into.

Very happy to know this. Shows how great leaders rise above pettiness to save people in distress. God bless this kind Sultan.

All the moroccan jews know this and they are very loyal to their home country and our kings. I want to send them love and respect. And thank you for putting the light on this subject

In Algiers we have a whole boulevard named after Mohamed V

Dr Masood,, I am so warmed by your voice,, You are chosen,, definitely,, I have a Syrian refugee great friend who I dearly love, He tells me of Syria before the disaster,,arabs, Jews and Muslims and others,, where they shared their foods, music cultures and above all love and respect, I would surrender my life for him and his family if God put me in that scenario,, he likewise. I am Christian,he a very very devoted Muslim. You are the hope the voice of reason, May god protect you, Bless.

Salam from Morocco 🇲🇦

Thank you for your narrative, my grandparents are from Morocco, they left and ended up in Egypt, after my grandfather serving the Byzantine army in Palestine

Thank you❤,Morocco 🇲🇦 Jewish love Morocco. I love Morocco, a Jewish from Israel iraq 🇮🇶.

Also Moroccan Jedws, incl their desvendants, still carry the Moroccan nationality. The law does not allow them either to reject or denounce it. Morocco is still their land.

Thank you for the true history ♥🗺

I heard this story in short of Sultan Mohammad V . I’m grateful for telling the story of saving the Marrocan Jews in details. I love historic facts of Jewish life in all over the world. Thank you!

Thank you, Masood, for this information that I haven't heard anywhere else. I agree that you're not painting a picture of the ideal, but just letting us know that Muslims are not a monolith ad that there can be significant variations in their capacity for empathy. Thank you very much, sir, for that! I'm a 78 yr. old American woman who identifies as Jewish, culturally. Blessings to you...

After my talk on the PhD thesis at Peoples' Friendship University another graduate student from Morocco (I just remember his name Mustafa), who worked with the same scientific leader,, approached and congratulated on the successful defense of my PhD thesis. He gave me a huge bouquet of red gladioli, the bouquet was like half of my height (I am 160 cm tall), and it was huge. The gladioli were so beautiful. I was greatly impressed and, you know, there were many cordial congratulations after the talk of course, but that bouquet ..., I always remember it. Mustafa was known as a very kind and good person, hopefully he is doing well now, if God may Bless his heart. So I am not surprised that the author of this film (also from Morocco) is trying to find a peaceful resolution to the terrible problem, and presents facts to help it. Thank you very much for your great historical film. If God may Bless you as well.

great info for me as a Moroccan

Lived in Morocco for 2 1/2 years as a child and have pleasant memories of the country and its people. And at the Fantasia I fell madly in love with horses!

3xcellent content. He saved fellow Moroccans. He said righfully : "There are no J* ws in Morocco. There are only Moroccan subjects,” Moroccan J ws are regarded as or not "foreigners" Unlike Europe, the J ws of Morocco are seen as "native" too, who practised often similar Berber or Amazigh traditions. So they are considered Moroccans, only with a different faith.❤ Morocco has acknowledged by law that Moroccan J ws are a very importsnt component in Moroccan idenity. Who shaped the countries cultural tradition too. So they are not "new comers" to Morocco but where there long before Christismity and even Islam reached present day Morocco.

Thank you ever so much for sharing the true facts about history especially in these hard times where western media leaves no stone unturned to mislead the public opinion. Keep up the good work 🙏🏼

King Mohammed V and his son King Hassan II were incredible great kings. I met King Hassan II when the King visited my school. These were different times, but Morocco remains a great Country. 12:31

Thank you for sharing this Dr. Raja. This is the first time I have heard this. This man saved the lives of many Jews - both the descendents of some still in Morocco and many Israelis who would have never been born otherwise. What a wonderful story.

Many thanks for this enlightening video. I didn't know anything about this subject. It makes my respect for the Moroccan people greater.

In Israel most jews doesn't feel a special connection with the land that their ancestors came from before moving to Israel with the rare exception of Morocco. Every one has a special story about the country and the monarchy. My family per say is Moroccan Jewish that migrated to the Brazilian Amazon, for 7 Generations we never identified ourselves as Brazilians, but as Moroccan Jews (this is how I identify myself, even though never been to Morocco), we kept the language Haketia and traditions including mimouna, but the most interesting thing is that my greatgrandfather had a photo of Mohamed V together with Baba Sali and Ribbi Shimon Bar Yochai. We included a special prayer for him every yer on his aniversary of death. We are aware that during our stay in Morocco not everything was perfect such as the case of Solika Hachuel (haSedaka, Lala Solika) but overall was a much better experience than most other places.

Thank you for your video. I just found your channel and look forward to exploring it. In a sheltered workshop for developmentally disabled adults, in a small town in Pennsylvania, USA, we work with staff from Morocco, Algeria, Sudan, and other African states. The world is reaching out to each other. Thank you for your efforts.

Long live his grandson our king Mohammed VI

It warms my heart to hear how good men showed great mercy to vulnerable people in terrible times. It remind that almighty God's love inhabits the hearts of men everywhere, if they are willing. Praise His holy name.

At one time Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in the same neighborhoods in peace. They respected each other as followers of Abraham. We should all stop listening to the politicians and follow our hearts.

Thank you so much for sharing All these incredible information with us. We really appreciate it 🙏

The Jews in Morocco were always very entrenched in Moroccan society and politics and had a positive impact on the country

Thank you for telling this story!!! I was blessed to visit Tangier in the 2000's..

It is very important in these divisive times to have detailed accounts like this, of the possibility of mutual respect and integrity above any and all differences that may exist in the belief systems and cultures of people on this planet. Knowledge like this will surely help to save lives. Thank you

Fascinating and important history. Thank you!

Thank you

I never knew this! Thank you for sharing.

As Moroccan, and a muslim, I'm proud to be part of a country ruled by cherifian family, following the teachings of Islam, which saved jews and where jews and muslims lived in peace for centries❤️🇲🇦❤️

God Bless Him.

Thank you for this. Some of us knew this history and try to pass it on, it is not always welcome.

Thank you for your fascinating video. It was especially interesting to me because when I vacationed in Morocco 25 years ago I visted an enormous Jewish cemetery in Fez and the Jewish quarters of both Marrakech and Fez. Also, during WWII my father served in the Texas 36th Division of the U.S. Army which landed in Casablanca on its way across North Africa prior to the invasion of Italy. I wear an interesting and very old silver ring that a Moroccan man traded for a pack of cigarettes from my father. I enjoyed my visit to Morocco very much and bought two beautiful handmade rugs. As I recall, there is Place Mohammed V in Paris, France in honor of Sultan Mohammed V. He was a great man for saving so many Jews from the nazis.

الحمد لله نحن في المغرب لا نربى على كراهية الٱخر مهما كان عرقه أو دينه! كل الناس سواسية وتصرفاتهم هي التي تقيمهم وليس أصلهم....

Thank you so much for your educational insightful videos and taking the time to share with us

Thank you so much Dr Masood. You are such an important voice in today’s polarized world

True he is a held a Hero by the Moroccan Jews. Actually the first wave of emigration came already in 586 BC when the Assyrians and Babylonians attacked Israel and Judea. Look at the history of the Jews of Djerba, Tunisia. Then after the expulsion by the Romans Jews settled throughout North Africa.

Thank you for giving us a recollection of a moment of peace!

This is leadership.

Muhammad the 5th managed to balance his responsibilities, French pressure, and his conscience. A position that many rulers can draw inspiration from it.

Moroccan Jews honor Morocco anywhere they go because they proudly say they have Moroccan heritage and have no issue that the Monarchy is Muslim, this says a lot. The conflict in Israel truly doesnt portray Jews. Even in Palestine Jews and Muslims lived peacefully together always. The Jews of Morocco are true descendants of Jacob.

This is my grandparents history. May Mohammed V and family be blessed for what they did for the jewish at that terrible period.

Thank you for posting this video. It is good to know this.

Thank you so much!!!!

I love the stories of people saving Jews throughout WWII. I or 2 here and there, the couple hundred Schindler saved, and now I know the Moroccan Sultan saved his Jewish citizens. We need more stories like this. There are good, kind and brave people all over the world and this is another example that it is possible for us all to get along. Thank you for sharing.

thankyou for the vid. so much still needs to be revealed about history. what a great leader.

Thank you. The information is much appreciated.

Wonderful video. The Sultan took a Righteous stand. Saved the lives of the Moroccan Jews.

Thanks for shedding light on this, very interesting information. Cheers!

My parents used to tell me about the king Muhammed the 5. They use to talk about his courage, and kindness. He was and still is very respected among the jewish community

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Yesss so good to see the world when christians jews muslims hindus etc live togetherharmoneously, understand each other & love each other..❤❤

This is a lovely presentation of unknown history! Thank you :o)

Thank you for sharing this! Very brave!

Thank you for publishing this. I did not know about this story. 250,000 is a whole lot of people for one person to save from dying.

Thank you! That was very, very informative! That was knowledge I will always remember.👍🏻

Bravo. Thank you for sharing this event illustrating a moment in history that is little known. Bravo to the Sultan for protecting his people beyond their ethnicity.

Brilliant video! New insights. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your informative videos Dr Raja. It is very important that you broadcast this information so that people are informed of the relationship between Jews and Muslims before the Balfour Declaration.

Thank you so very much for doing this video Dr. Raja. I like your spirit. Good News isn't easy to find in today's media sources. God richly bless and keep you always.

"Mohammad Youssef" what a mighty, beautiful name! 2 mighty prophet's one thee most mighty, the other, thee most beautiful, may the peace & blessings of Allah swt be upon them both and May Allah swt shower Sultan Mohammad Youssef with His Mercy! May Allah swt be pleased with him!
