Muslims saved a considerable number of Jews during the Holocaust, and have been recognized for this by Yad Vashem and by Israel.
Turkish diplomats Selahattin Ulkummen, Necdet Kent, and Namık Kemal Yolga, otherwise known as the “Turkish Schindler”, had a hand in saving as many Jews as they could during the Holocaust.
There is in the center of Paris a handsome mosque with a tall slender minaret and lovely gardens. It was built in the 1920s, as an expression of gratitude from France for the over half-million Muslims from its African possessions who fought alongside the French in the 1914-1918 war. About 100,000 of them died in the trenches.
During World War II, when the Germans occupied France, the mosque sheltered resistance fighters and North Africans who had escaped from German POW camps. (The French recruited 340,000 North African troops into the French army in 1939.) When the French police started rounding up Jews and delivering them to the German occupiers, the mosque sheltered Jews as well, most of them children.

This is from an article from a lady who was sent to France to escape the Nazi's as a child.

Muslims saved the Jews from the Romans too.

Your baited question gives a list of zero. I'm afraid your list for Muslims will be just about as long as the names of the popes that helped Jews in the Holocaust.

To assume that the Muslims did not, or possess no virtue like anyone else is a fallacy. I am sure that evidence can be found to show that some did.
