A Jewish Community's Story of Survival
Denmark, 1943
Denmark in 1943 has become a dangerous place for Jews to live. Though the Danish king and his people don’t want to harm their Jewish citizens, the Nazi threat is tightening around the country. The Benjamin family knows they must escape, but the ports are monitored by the Gestapo, and sailing is illegal. How will they manage to evade the German searchlights and reach Sweden safely?
This is the true story of the rescue of a Jewish family. Join them in their harrowing journey to reach neutral territory where they won’t be persecuted. Readers will be fascinated to learn more about Denmark’s Jewish community and the unusual kindness that the Danish Underground extended to their unfortunate neighbors.
The Escape series provides readers with compelling true narratives of Jewish heroism and survival. Each book includes engaging photographs, a timeline, and a glossary.
