Boats In the Night: Knud Dyby's Involvement in the Rescue of the Danish Jews and the Danish Resistance
Through the experiences of Knud Dyby, former printer, Royal Guardsman and member of the Danish resistance to the German occupation of Denmark, Martha Loeffler tells the dramatic story of the rescue of more than 90% of Denmark's Jews. Using his connections with fishing boat skippers, Dyby arranged for the secretive transport of Jews across the sound to safety in Sweden. More than a story of individual daring and bravery, it is also a testimony to a people's resistance to tyranny and their courage to care for each other.
