The Danish Solution: The Rescue of the Jews in Denmark

Posted on February 4, 2020March 12, 2020 by Village Vidiot

“The Danish Solution: The Rescue of the Jews in Denmark,” February 4, 2020, DVD, Documentary, 2003.  In these difficult times, I would recommend viewing the 2003 documentary “The Danish Solution: The Rescue of the Jews in Denmark.” Narrated by Garrison Keillor, it recounts the actions of everyday people, rich and poor, that resulted in the saving of 95% of the Danish Jewish population from capture and death in the concentration camps. The myth of the Danish king wearing a Star of David is disproved, but the heroism of a people who risked their own lives to save others is far more inspiring. The actions of the Danish Lutheran priests should humble and inspire us all. Yes, there were informers and Danish Nazis, but the vast majority of this nation acted with a righteousness that should be seen, remembered and emulated.
