A Danish Jew with her baby on the way to Sweden. The story of the Danish Jews is an exception to the overall indifference seen elsewhere during the Holocaust. The german diplomat GeorgFerdinand Duckwitz tipped off a member of the Danish government that deportations were due to start. The Jews all fled into hiding and were smuggled by the Danish Resistance to neutral Sweden, who promised safety to the Jews. Due to this almost all of Denmark's 7800 Jews survived.
