The Three Miracles of the Jewish Danes, an illustrated talk by Anne Ipsen, PhD

During World War II, the Danish people helped their
Jewish countrymen escape to Sweden. The most dramatic of these events happened
during the High Holy Days of 1943, but the miracles of the rescue of seven
thousand Jewish Danes span all five years of the German occupation. They are
timeless lessons in the resistance of evil by ordinary people. To commemorate
the seventieth anniversary year, Dr. Ipsen will describe the unusual
circumstances of the occupation in an illustrated talk, based on her memoir, A
Child’s Tapestry of War—Denmark 1940-45
