How the Dane's smuggled eight thousand Jews out of Denmark and into Sweden under the noses of the Germans. ( ) The Danish Resistance was enormously successful in saving Danish Jews from being deported to concentration camps. 8,007 Danish Jews were smuggled out of Denmark to Sweden. Of the 460 Jews that were taken to Theresienstadt, all but 60 survived, thanks in part to Danish pressure. It was a remarkable feat. In this novel, the author's characters, both Danish and German, grapple with duty and moral right. Although fictional, Arnold bases his story on his interviews with more than 50 members of the former underground in Denmark, and the historical record. no reviews | add a review
