German police in Denmark begin rounding up Jews for
deportation. But the Danish underground, helped by many
ordinary Danish citizens, hides Jews and launches a broad
effort to smuggle them to Sweden with the help of Danish
fishermen. Through the Swedish minister in Berlin, the
Swedish government officially protests against the
deportation order and offers to give refuge to all Danish
Jews. (USHMM, 1993, p. 46-47)
