Tim Brady recently published A LIGHT IN A NORTHERN SEA is the story of the remarkable rescue of Denmark’s Jewish population during October 1943. Assisted by the citizenry of Denmark, including hundreds of resistance leaders, local fishermen, and the good citizens of the nation, Jewish families crossed the strait between Denmark and Sweden in a flotilla of fishing boats that has been likened to a “Little Dunkirk.” The escape became the most successful rescue of a Jewish population from Nazi tyranny in the whole of World War II. More than 90% of the Jew’s of Denmark escaped German incarceration in the effort. A LIGHT IN THE NORTHERN SEA tells the full story of the occupation of Denmark in the early days of the war, describes the growing resistance to the German presence in this sovereign nation, details the Jewish community in Copenhagen, and the terrifying beginnings of the round-up of the Jews, as well as the heroic efforts of the Jewish people and their allies in the Danish community to escape the oppression. It also describes the continuing efforts by the Danish resistance to battle the German occupation in the months after the escape.
