In this audio episode, we go over one of the most remarkable acts of collective resistance during World War II: the rescue of Denmark’s Jewish population in October 1943.
After a warning reached community leaders that Nazi deportations were coming, Danes acted quickly. Homes became hiding places. Churches and hospitals sheltered families. Fishermen used their boats to move people across the Oresund to Sweden. In just over 3 weeks, more than 7,000 Jews and nearly 700 non-Jewish relatives escaped Denmark. More than 98% of Denmark’s Jewish population survived the Holocaust.
This goes over what made that possible.
