by boat
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.
They ferried the Jews to southern Sweden, where they were safe.
To neighbouring Sweden
Sweden created a handkerchief that the Danish Jews used for wearing off the dogs sense of smell. You have to read the book "Number the stars". It tells you all about it. The handkerchief is for fishermen only because they need it to ward off the dogs so that they don;t know that they have people on board to sail to Sweden.
No, the Danish Jews escaped by boats to Sweden and stayed there during the rest of the war (apart from a small minority going back to Denmark to join the resistance). I assume you don't refer to the few days - maximum weeks - that Jews would have to be in hiding (from the disclosure of the deportation plans) until they could get on a boat to Sweden - in that waiting period they would of course be hidding by Danes.
No. At least 60 Danish Jews perished in camps.
Most of the Danish Jewish refugees fled to Sweden.

Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz was a German diplomat who played a crucial role in saving thousands of Danish Jews during the Holocaust. In September 1943, Duckwitz warned Danish Jewish leaders about the impending Nazi plan to deport Jews to concentration camps. This information allowed many Danish Jews to escape to Sweden, ultimately saving approximately 7,200 lives. Duckwitz's actions exemplify the impact of individual courage and moral conviction in the face of immense evil.
SWEDEN

Yes, though they were warned and most managed to escape.
a lot of Jews were sailed to Sweden in the night by fishermen a.o.
Germany (represented by Hitler himsefl) wanted to deport the Danish Jews to extermination camps elsewhere in Europe. This was prevented (except for the very old or ill) by the escape of the Jews to neutral Sweden. On an individual level it wasn't all Germans to supported the official deportation plans, though. The escape was made possible first of all because a German officer, Duckwitz, told Danish (and Swedish) politicians about it, and when the actual escape took place in small boats across the Øresund strait there are several reported cases where German patrols were 'looking the other way' rather than trying to prevent it.

The problem is that the Danish resistance had little to do with the escape of the Danish Jews, so where would the other groups take their example from. Unfortunately Denmark had one massive advantage over many other German-occupied countries; they had somewhere to escape to.
