		The Danish Jewish Museum differs from all other European Jewish Museums because Danish Jews were, by and large, saved through the effort of their compatriots and neighbors during the tragic years of the Shoa.
		It is this deeply human response that differentiates the Danish Jewish community and is manifested in the form, structure and light of the new museum.
		The organizing principle of The Danish Jewish Museum is the concept of Mitzvah itself in its deep ethical meaning as a commandment, resolve and a fundamental good deed.
