A Conspiracy of Decency: The Rescue of the Danish Jews During World War II

I have been studying books concerning those who rescued Jews during the Nazi era for about 10 years. Obviously, this can be a depressing enterprise. However, this book, The Conspiracy of Decency, has the distinction of being the only holocaust book I have read that made me feel absolutely wonderful when I concluded it. For Yad Vashem to honor the entire nation of Denmark for its rescue efforts is telling in itself, but this book is extremely well written and probes the motivation of the rescuers as well as their heroic actions. I highly recommend this book!

Great quotations that make you feel what it was like to live during the Holocaust in Denmark.

I came across this book at the local library recently. This slim volume tells the courageous but little known true story about how the Danish people saved the vast majority of it's Jewish population from the death camps. The text is complemented by a number of photos. This book is worth the effort to locate.
