King Christian of Denmark

The death of King Christian X of Denmark will be mourned among Jewry all over the world. The stand made by him in 1943 on behalf of the Jewish population in Denmark aroused at that time feelings of admiration among all freedom loving citizens. ” If the Germans want to introduce the Yellow Star for Jews in Denmark, I and my whole family will wear it as a sign of the highest distinction “—these words of the Danish King will long be remembered in the history of mankind. For over five years King Christian defied the Invaders and resisted their attempts to degrade and expel the Jews. His memory will long be treasured.
