All About Albania

Apparently

Albania is the only country occupied by the Nazis that had more Jews at the end of the war than at the beginning of the war, which is a reflection of Jews having sought refuge in Albania and survived.

I'm pleased to add a positive mental association with the word 'Albania'. My previous two associations are (1) the massive pyramid scheme that caused the Albanian economy to collapse in 1997 and (2) the writer Ismail Kadare whose book The Successor was a magnificent portrait of the paranoia surrounding a totalitarian dictator. This new cognitive connection tips my mental balance in favor of Albania.
