This excerpt from The Rescuers documentary film describes the rescue of almost the entire Danish Jewish community in the fall of 1943. It follows Sir Martin Gilbert and two survivors, Leo and Gus Goldberger, who were saved because of the courage of their neighbors and other Danes. The excerpt focuses on the actions of Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, a German diplomat stationed in the capital of Copenhagen, who alerted both the Jewish community and the Danish underground of the coming roundup. As a result of Duckwitz’s courage and initiative, most of the Danish Jews went into hiding. The Danish underground then transported them across the Øresund strait to Sweden, where for the rest of the war they were cared for, thanks to Duckwitz’s diplomacy.
