The total number of Jews saved by the Danes is estimated to have been around 7200, which constituted around 90% of the Jewish community living in Denmark at the time. In addition, the Danish government repeatedly sent food parcels to the remaining Jews who had been imprisoned by the Nazis, thus ensuring that only around 150 Danish Jews perished during WW2.
