Rescuing the Danish Jews

Overview

Bent Melchior, a fourteen-year-old Danish Jew, was crammed into the hold of a fishing boat, but this was not a normal fishing trip. Surviving the crowded, filthy conditions on this trip meant reaching freedom. After many hours at sea, Melchior had reached safety in Sweden. The remarkable story of rescuing the Danish Jews has many heroic tales. In the midst of World War II and the slaughter of millions in the Holocaust, the Danes resisted Nazi brutality and saved thousands of people from death.
