Virtual Tour: Museum of Jewish Heritage

Virtual tour of the exhibit, “Courage to Act: Rescue in Denmark”. 

This exhibition tells the remarkable story of the rescue of the Danish Jews during the Holocaust. Together, Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors of all ages mobilized to create one of the most effective—and exceptional—examples of mass resistance and escape in modern history. Despite the enormous risk, ordinary citizens united against Nazism to save nearly 95% of Denmark’s Jewish population. While many know glimpses of this story through Lois Lowry’s beloved novel Number the Stars, Courage to Act unveils the full scope of this inspiring chapter in human history.
