Riveting account of fantastic history

I've read this book several times: first when I was in highschool in the 1960's, second when I was on my way to live in Denmark in 1988, and when I returned to the US in 1997. Flender has told the history well, and I checked many details myself while I was living in Denmark. Every time I read Rescue in Denmark, I am again intrigued and warmed by the risk that so many Danes took to save their Jewish population. It really is a country of thousands of Shindlers! Anyone interested in Jewish history, history of WWII, and Denmark will greatly enjoy this book. I highly recommend it.
