Some of the top Nazis were given help by the Vatican! See the link below. There were probably many ways for them to get smuggled out of Germany. Some material that I've read said that General Skozeny helped some escape through Italy. He wa, the German general who commanded the special English-speaking commandos who infiltrated the US lines at Battle of Bulge. Supposedly, he had contacts that could smuggle Nazi's out of the coastal port of La Spezia (near Genoa, Italy). I guess from there they made their voyage to Brazile or South America.
The Nazis had real difficulties in Denmark first it seemed rather easy.They swarmed across the tiny border between Denmark and Germany and because there was a rather small army the king thought it was best if Denmark capitulated.They sank their ships in the harbour and then allowed the German superior force to occupy Denmark. Later however when it was understood that the Germans were going to start rounding up the Jews of Denmark,the people started fighting back.They bombed major munition installations and rail lines.They mounted an unprecedeneted underground communications network to keep people informed about what was going on and an amazing number of ordinary Danes began advising their Jewish friends to go into hiding.They hid the Jews in homes in churches on farms and finally smuggled them into small fishing boats and sailed them to neutral Sweeden.
Some ways that Jews tried to escape were:
Emigration; either by land or by sea, people tried to escape to France, Spain or overseas.
Changing identity; some churches in both the west and the east would provide falsified baptismal records. Or children would be adopted into Christian families.
Hiding; some people would actually remain hidden until after the war.
some just ran away from the consentrastion camps EDIT: W-R-O-N-G for the most part. Many were transported to safety by boats.
Danish Jews were able to ride in ambulances and fishermen would take them.
They hid out like the Anne Franke story, or they survived the concentration camps. A very few were able to get out of Germany to a safer place.
The Nazis believed many, often contradictory, things about the Jews. One of the Nazis' favourite themes was that the Jews and the Germans were locked in some mysterious struggle for domination of Germany, Europe, even the world!
Yes. The Nazis tried to dress up Kristallnacht as a popular response to a Jewish act of terrorism, but it was in fact only Nazis and their agents who produced the violence and destruction.
Nazis transported the Jews by train mostly.
the Nazis would kill them

When they invaded, the danish people didn't really put up a fight( of course there was a Resistance though). After the invasion the Nazis went from building to building searching for Jews to exterminate.
He gave visas to hundreds, maybe thousands of Jews in Europe so that they can escape to Shanghai away from the persecution of the Nazis.
All over Europe.
Many Christians tried to help Jews escape the Nazis during the Holocaust. Often risking their own lives in the event of doing so.
they hid in underground cellars
The Nazis killed mainly Jews in the holocaust but also people who were 'feeble minded', 'crippled', and even POWs.
The Jews had two choices. either they do what the nazis told them to do...or they die. the nazis forced them into the cars. if they had fought back, they would get shot. they nazis forced them into th ghettos. if they had fought back, they would get shot and killed. lastly, the nazis forced them into the concentration capms. if they had tried to fight back or escape then they would immediately get shot and killed. basically, the jews did not allow it to happen. it was life or death.

those in the concentration camps. Jews, Homosexuals, POW's, etc. Of course, the Nazis walked with them, keeping track of them. Those that couldn't keep up or tried to escape were shot.
the plan to annihilate the Jews of Europe.
Russia helped an estimated 1,750,000 Jews escape from the Nazis, by helping 1.5 million of them relocate from Eastern Poland to a location well inside Russia where they were safe. An additional 150,000 were able to make it out and eventually get out of Europe.
Jews hid in order to avoid deportation to death camps in Eastern Europe.
