the danish resistance helped the Jewish people by helping them find food they might go fishing for them, in ww2 they helped them by helping them get to Sweden where the Germans had not yet taken over. a specific book called number the stars" shows the story of a little girl and her family helping the Jews escape from the Germans who were hunting them down and sending them to concentration camps where they would die of starvation or get killed with acid or gas in supposedly showers.
The Danes made it a National Priority to protect their Jewish population.
Denmark smuggeled 7,220 Jews and 680 non Jewish family members by
sea to neutral Sweden. About 500 Danish Jews were sent to the camp
in Czechoslovakia called Therenienstadt. The majority survived.
At least six million of them did not survive. Those that did, often had to do it by their wits, hiding and getting food by illegal means. Some were hidden by people who disapproved of the killing of the Jews, at least they hid them until they were themselves taken to concentration camps. Some Jews, not many, did survive the concentration camps until the day that the war ended and they were then rescued. Those who survived were often those who had been considered "valuable" as slave labor for the Germans.
in ww2 there were around nine million Jew's which lived in 21 countries of Europe and at the end of the war 2 out of 3 Jew's were killed.

Denmark did not real have an important role in world war 2. The only reason Germany occupied Denmark was because they had a big agriculture and could secure Germany alot of food. Also airports in Denmark where used much. Most of all there was 2 special airports. One in "Aalborg" and one in the very small town of "Randbøldal"
