During the rescue of Jews from Denmark in October 1943, approximately 600 boats were used to transport them to safety in Sweden. This remarkable operation involved both private fishing boats and larger vessels, with many local fishermen and citizens participating in the effort. The operation successfully helped around 7,200 Jews escape the Nazi occupation.

How danish Jews help to spark resistance efforts in other parts of German occupied Europe?

Denmark was overrun but not destroyed in 1941 and many Danish Jews were able to escape early in the war before the persecution of Jews really got into full swing. These Jews many who spoke German and other languages were able to start resistence groups in Denmark, France, and Belgium as the first Jews who saw the Holocaust coming if something wasn't done. They were mostly in the West and unable to really help the Poles, White Russian Jews and others in Eastern Europe who had their own undergrounds.


What happend to the Jews in denmark?

If you mean Jewish people, then yes, and there still is. In the beginning of the 1930's many Jewish people moved to Denmark, to flee from Hitler and his anti-semitic way of life. In the beginning of the occupation, the Germans did nothing to the Jewish people of Denmark. But when they suddenly arrested 12 of the most prominent Jewish people, they started to flee to Sweden, with the help of danish resistance men, and local fishermen. After the war, the Jewish moved back to Denmark, many surprised by coming back to intact houses, thanks to their generous neighbors taking care of them. It's no certainty, but there's estimated to be around 5-7000 Jews in Denmark today.


Did Denmark help Jews get to safety?

Initially Denmark signed a neutrality and nonaggression type of pact. Denmark sincerely believed Germany would leave them alone. The Nazis did invade their country but let the Danes carry on with their own government and lifestyle. Eventually the Nazis showed their true colors. The Danes created and Underground Resistance Network. They smuggled Jews out of the country and fought the Nazis overtly and covertly. They received help from England in their underground efforts.
