A Light in the Northern Sea

On August 25, 1943, a daring act of resistance unfolds as a bicyclist carries explosives to a Copenhagen hall intended for German troops, signifying a pivotal moment for the Danish resistance group, Holger Danske. Following a cooperative but oppressive three-year occupation, Denmark's Jews, who had previously been unscathed, find themselves in imminent danger as a roundup is ordered by the Nazis. Yet, against the odds, a remarkable network of ordinary Danes emerges, bravely orchestrating the escape of nearly 95% of the Jewish population across the treacherous Oresund strait to safety in Sweden. This audiobook shares the gripping true stories of courage and solidarity during one of history's darkest chapters.
