Freemasonry, Resistance & Rescue of the Jews in Denmark (1943)
Abstract This study is about an exclusive coexistence. At the height of the Nazi threat over Europe, only in Denmark we can find simultaneously: a) a freely and officially active freemasonry b) a resistance movement c) an organized aid operation for fleeing Jews. Freemasonry carried out a clandestine activity during European totalitarian regimes, although it officially survived only in Denmark (and Iceland), Sweden, the U.K., Ireland and Switzerland. This research tries to shed a light on the likely involvement of Danish freemasonry in the rescue of Danish Jews and in the resistance movement.
