Description:
This event focuses on the heroic actions of Danish citizens who saved Jewish lives during Nazi occupation in 1943. The program is based on the book Hour of Need by Ralph Shayne, illustrated by Tatiana Goldberg. It highlights how ordinary people defied the Nazi regime, risking their lives to protect their Jewish neighbors.
Features:
- Quote from Ronald Leopold, Executive Director, The Anne Frank House:
“By saving almost the entire Jewish community under Nazi-occupation, Denmark serves as an example of how to protect our humanity. This book shows that ‘Never again’ is more than a deep-felt wish, it is a matter of choice.”
- Resources will be provided to participants.
