Sinclair Davidson today not only reminded of the Warsaw Jewish ghetto uprising this day 1943, but also that the little boy in the famous photo below lived a long life. The ghetto fighters held out for more than a month. The uprising was three days before the planned liquidation of the ghetto.

On September 28, 1943, Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, a German diplomat, secretly informed the Danish resistance that the Nazis were planning to deport the Danish Jews.
The Danes responded quickly, organizing a nationwide effort to smuggle the Jews by sea to neutral Sweden.
With the help of the Danish people, Jews found hiding places in homes, hospitals, and churches.
Within a two-week period fishermen helped ferry 7,220 Danish Jews and 680 non-Jewish family members to safety across the narrow body of water separating Denmark from Sweden.

Notice how few were victims of the Holocaust in Denmark. Denmark was the only occupied country that actively resisted the Nazi regime’s attempts to deport its Jewish citizens.
