Rob Satloff sees a possible opportunity to bridge differences between Arabs and Jews: highlighting Arabs who acted heroically during the Holocaust. Satloff has just returned from a lecture tour in the Middle East.
And he has also written a book: Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach Into Arab Lands.
Satloff has nominated one of the men whose story is told in the book, a Tunisian Arab Muslim, for recognition by the Israeli Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem.
Robert Siegel talks with Satloff, who is the director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
