https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_of_the_Danish_Jews


This is a link to a wikipedia article about Denmark's occupation by the Nazis and their stance towards their Jewish population and their persecution. It is fascinating.


I will cite a few remarkable things.


The Danish Underground acted to spirit almost all of their country's Jews out of the country into Switzerland, which was neutral. Almost 10,000 people.


When the less than 1000 Jews that remained were put in concentration camps, the Danish government intervened to negotiate their release by the German government.


Highly placed German Nazi's in Denmark knew that they could not go to that place where they went in other nations they occupied...because they sensed that Denmark whether it's people, or leaders or both...would revolt and oppose them. They could not and did not test that...they did not go there...in Denmark. The Germans in Denmark backed down.


Wow. That is moral authority!
