Content descriptions
- General Note:
- "Most of the sources for this book refer to the 'rescue' of the Danish Jews. Unless I am referencing a direct quote, book title, or website, I prefer to tell of the 'escape' of the Danish Jews. Denmark certainly stepped up to aid its citizens against the Nazis, but the word 'rescue' fails to recognize the Jewish people's own efforts to save themselves. They were not passive participants but filled with courage, resolve, and resourcefulness in the face of sudden and mortal danger." --
