Why would Danes from all walks of life band together to rescue 7,200 Jews in Denmark? Eighty years ago, the Danish underground and ordinary Danes pulled off a massive operation to rescue Danish Jews from the Nazis. Within hours they spirited virtually all of the Jews of Copenhagen out of their homes and took them in small fishing boats across the water to safety in Sweden. What motivated them? How did they manage? Yiftach Meiri, a Yad Vashem educator, will explore this incredible rescue story.
