Walking CPH, Denmark: From Christiansborg Palace To The Danish Jewish Museum
To my viewers in Canada and around the world, I am making videos about different cities in different countries; this time, I am making videos about Copenhagen, which the last Danish city about which I am promoting. I was walking from the Christiansborg Palace, which is the seat of the Danish parliament to the Jewish Museum. I don't know anything about this museum, but what I have heard is that two - three centuries ago, Jews were treated like second class citizens by the Danes and they were fighting for their rights to be treated with dignity.
Walking in Copenhagen: What You And I Need To Know About The Jewish Museum
First of all, I have zero knowledge about the Danish Jewish Museum, but what I've heard from different individuals is that 200 years ago or more, Jews in Denmark were treated as second class citizens and they were facing discrimination and other hostilities from the mainstream Danish society. It took centuries before Jews gained their rights to be treated with dignity. The Danish Jewish Museum is heavily guarded by the Danish police and secret services because, on February 14-15, 2015, three separate shootings occurred in Copenhagen, Denmark. In total, two victims and the perpetrator were killed, while five police officers were wounded.
The first shooting took place on 14 February at a small public afternoon event called Art, Blasphemy, and Freedom of Expression at the Krudttønden cultural center, where an armed gunman killed one civilian and wounded three police officers. 30 to 40 persons attended the event, amongst which was the Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who was among the key speakers and François Zimeray, Ambassador of France in Denmark, who opened the seminar with his speech just before the attack took place. Lars Vilks is often described as the main target because of his drawings of Muhammad.
The second shooting took place later that night (after midnight, and, therefore, on the 15th), outside the city's Great Synagogue in Krystalgade. A gunman killed a young Jewish man on security duty during a bat mitzvah celebration and wounded two police officers. Later that morning near Nørrebro station, police tracking the suspect shot and killed a man, after he opened fire on them while he attempted to enter a residential building under police surveillance. The man was identified as Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, who police said was responsible for both attacks.

75 years ago, the people of Denmark showed their courage in the face of great risk. During the war, they did not allow the Danish Jews to be deported to certain death. Instead they smuggled them to safety, and saved the lives of thousands.

The DANISH National Monument of Remembrance
A new national monument of remembrance for the many brave Danish soldiers - who lost their young and precious lives in international peace keeping missions abroad - firmly to defend democracy and freedom in the developing countries and to prevent and reduce the treat of terrorism worldwide - has been inaugurated on September 5th - 2011 - on the special flag and memorial day for Denmark’s deployed personnel at the Old Citadel (Kastellet) in Copenhagen. The national monument - with an eternal flame burning - is placed at the “Prinsessens Bastion” in the centre of the Citadel area - and is open for the grieving families and supportive public - who now can honour their beloved deceased and fellow citizens - that died in service for Denmark - and who now can be remembered in a respectful and decent manner. In time - the area around the monument of commemoration - will turn into a flowering and well planted Memorial Grove. On the granite walls is the inscription of the names of the fallen - and the inscription signature of the monument is - “ONE TIME - ONE PLACE - ONE HUMAN BEING”. (EN TID - ET STED - ET MENNESKE).
In photos: The Danish rescuers and the Jewish survivors of Denmark
75 years ago, over a period of three weeks in October 1943, Danish citizens smuggled more than 7,000 Jews across the sea to safety in Sweden to escape Nazi deportation. These are the rare portraits of those ordinary people, who, together, experienced something extraordinary: The rescue of Danish Jewry.
Reflections on the 70th Anniversary of the Danish Rescue of the Jews with Bo Lidegaard
In this inaugural Ambassador Edward E. and Susie Elson Lecture, Danish historian, journalist, and former diplomat Bo Lidegaard, author of Countrymen (Knopf, 2013), discusses the extraordinary story of how Denmark saved its Jews from the Nazis in World War II.
With his access to diaries, letters, and family accounts, Lidegaard focuses on how, in 1943, the Danish king, his ministers, and Parliament agreed that no one in Denmark would aid the Nazis in rounding up the 7,000 Danish Jews for deportation and certain death. Over the two-week period of September 26 to October 9, 1943, 6,500 out of the 7,000 Jews escaped to Sweden, having been assisted, hidden, and protected by their fellow countrymen.
The Ambassador Edward E. Elson and Susie Elson Lecture series was created by Edward E. Elson (U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, 1993--1998) to recognize outstanding achievement in the fields of the arts, literature, education, or public service by Danes or Danish Americans.
Bo Lidegaard is the editor-in-chief of the leading Danish newspaper Politiken and the author of several books on modern history. He served as a diplomat in the Danish Foreign Service before joining the Office of the Danish Prime Minister as Ambassador and Permanent Undersecretary of State tasked with responsibilities corresponding to those of National Security Advisor. Lidegaard later led the team preparing the 2009 United Nations conference on climate change in Copenhagen. He is one of the most respected and widely read Danish historians, and his work has focused on U.S.-Danish relations in the twentieth century, as well as on the modern Danish welfare state. Lidegaard lives in Copenhagen.
