The Rescue of Denmark's Jews More than 7,000 Danish Jews were evacuated to Sweden in October 1943. Most were interviewed by the Swedish Police, to whom they revealed a wealth of information about their lives and the logistics of their escape. These records have only recently been uncovered. Therkel Straede, a Professor at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, will discuss these records and what they reveal about this extraordinary rescue. Thurs., March 11, 2 pm on Zoom Register here. Sponsored by The Museum of Jewish Heritage.
