Why Did The Danes Safely Leave Denmark

Thanks to the great efforts from the Danish, more than 7,000 Jews were safely rescued and evacuated. Unfortunately, not all of them could be saved, more than 484 Jews were captured by Germans. From the 1943’s through the 1945’s, efforts were being made from the Danes into helping the Jews safely leave Denmark. Many tactics were put into motion, such as, being taken to safe places, and going into hiding for some time. Although the Danes were not to hide Jews, they did so anyways, hoping to help in any way.
