Liberty Bell

The Sammenhold Blog has a post: We Stand With the Danes that is well worth reading.

In 1943, right in the thick of World War II, the occupying Nazi-controlled goverment of Denmark resolved to exterminate Denmark’s Jewish population. Owing to the courage of the Danishpeople, who stood in solidarity with their Jewish neighbors, the Danish Jews disappeared overnight, hidden by their neighbors from the Nazis’ view, despite the grave risk to all involved. Once their complicity was uncovered, many of the rescuers paid the ultimate price. Later, Israel would award members of the movement who arranged the rescue the honor Righteous Among the Nations. At their own request, the rescuers are officially recognized, in solidarity, as a collective group. The Danish have a word for it: The word is SAMMENHOLD.

I would also like to formally apologize to the Sammenhold Blog. Some of you may know I had posted the entire piece in its original form - without permission from those at the Sammenhold Blog. It was wrong for me to do that. I have corrected the post in what I hope is a satisfactory way. Again, I’m sorry.
