I enjoyed reading your article. ...To Ms. Stewart. I enjoyed reading your article. It is always great to hear about how God delivered the Jewish people during the Holocaust. I've heard stories about individuals who helped to rescue them, and "group efforts" like those of Corrie, Betsie, Wilhelm (spelling?), & Caspar <br />Ten Boom. There were also efforts like those of Kindertransport in Great Britain. However, the story that you researched and wrote about was new for me. It was good (smile). I didn't realize that there were efforts even as far north as in Denmark to rescue Jewish people, and to move them to a safer location--in this case, Sweden. <br /> I majored in history at an Ivy League school, & as you might guess, have been interested in historical events for a long while. I received the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour before I graduated from high school. From then & forward, it has always been neat to learn about how the Lord moved in history. I'd be interested in how you get some of your ideas when researching. <br />In any event, I appreciate this story that took place in Denmark during WWII. <br /> Clarke Fort Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13479206695018022863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-36209142928083749632019-05-03T21:35:51.342-04:002019-05-03T21:35:51.342-04:00Thanks, Monique!

Their willingness to work together, risking their lives to save their fellow man was unparalleled.

At that time the Danes still would not speak of the resistance except mumbled to family members, still fearing repercussions from Nazi sympathizers. At this time many Germans vacationed in the North along the pristine beaches of the seacoast/fishing towns. In the last few years, we have found 'mumblings' of family member involved in transporting Jews to Scotland, and Sweden. Quite a feat when you consider how rough the North Sea and Skattegut can be certain times of the year. We keep digging and hope to connect with the actual families verbally in the fall during a visit. <br /><br />I always remember how proud my grandparents were of King Christian IX and his family appearing with 'Juden' arm bands after the invasion, which I learned about at an early age. And, I will always remember the suspicion and yet cordiality--German visitors were treated, during my summer there.Sandi Maglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704266549174163817noreply@blogger.com
