After the visit The Danish-Jewish Museum we drive to the picturesque little fishing village of Dragör. Here your Jewish guide will share the true account of the miraculous rescue of their family and 7.000 Jews.
Brave fishermen helped more than 95 % of the Jewish population in Denmark to safety in Sweden in a heroic act, the world had never seen before. Many Jewish Danes escaped from the village Dragör on small fishing boats. One of these boats was the fishing boat Elisabeth K571k, which ferried many Danish Jews to safety in Sweden on the cold and dark nights of October 1943.
This authentic boat is still in the harbour waiting to be explored.
