| Details | Between October 1 and October 2, 1943, during the Jewish holiday of Rosh HaShanah (the Jewish New Year) German Nazi forces made an attempt to capture the more than 7,000 Jews of Denmark in order to deport them to their deaths like millions of Jews before. But something happened that foiled this plan almost completely, leading to almost all of the Danish Jewish community surviving the Holocaust. How could that happen? What was the role of the Jews of Denmark in this story? And what about Danish society and the German forces in Denmark? Join Yiftach Meiri, Yad Vashem educator, to explore these questions.
