Danish Jews Escape the Holocaust
During WWII, most of the Jews in Denmark escaped Nazi death camps thanks to a tip-off by a German diplomat about a planned roundup.
In October 1943, at the height of the Second World War, most of the Jews in Denmark evaded Nazi plans to send them to death camps. They were warned about a planned roundup by a German diplomat. Hear the story of Bent Melchior who was 14 years old when his family made the journey to safety in neutral Sweden.
