Pictures of the Rescue of the Danish Jews in Oct. 1943
Very little photo documentation of these events exist. Often photos and footage believed to relate to the rescue in October do in fact illustrate transports of a much later date, and the persons appearing are members of the Resistance, allied airmen etc. Please see the samples below. © Frihedsmuseet |

 Stills from the documentary Your Freedom is at Stake (Det gælder din frihed) that was released in 1946.

But the takes were actually made during a leisure trip for former members of the Resistance in the summer of 1945. Photo No. 06E.00.00.024 & 027 Cf.: FV-Bladet, No. 180, March 2005, p. 31. |
