            of Denmark was

            1,500 Jewish people
            who had fled to
            Denmark in the early
            1930s.
The Arrest of the Danish Jews
• In 1943, when the Danish people heard
  that the Germans had decided to arrest
  and imprison Jewish people, they
  formed the Danish Resistance.

• Finally, many of the Danish Jews decide
  to flee Denmark.
How bad was life for the Jewish People under
                  Nazi rule?
 The following were rules for Jewish residents of
 areas controlled by the Nazis. These rules affected
 everyone who had at least one Jewish grandparent.

• In many places, Jews had to wear a yellow 6-pointed
  star on their clothing.

• They were limited in the use of public transportation.

• They had to hand in their bicycles.

• They were no longer allowed to go to theaters,
  movies, and sporting events.

• They could shop only at Jewish stores and only
  between 3-5 pm.
How bad was life for the Jewish People under

• Children had to attend Jewish schools and couldn't
  visit Christian friends.

• All Jews had to be indoors by 8 pm.

• They could not hold government jobs.

• Non-Jewish citizens were ordered not to go to
  Jewish doctors or hire Jewish lawyers.

• Jewish teachers were fired.

• Jews who owned stores had to mark windows with the
  word “Jew” and eventually had to sell their businesses
  to non-Jews.

• Jewish residents had no political rights
The Holocaust

• The word Holocaust, which means
  “complete destruction by fire" was first
  used in the late 1950's to refer to the
  death of six million Jews at the hands
  the Nazis.

• Today we honor and remember the
  victims of Nazi torture through special
