		Many reflections on the German occupation of Denmark treat the Danish reaction to that occupation as a "ray of light" in a world of "spiritual darkness."[1] But far from shedding light on the rescue of Danish Jewry, such reflections often cast a glare on the motives of those who made the rescue possible.
		Not surprisingly, the rescue of Danish Jewry--where nearly all of Denmark's 7,800 Jews were ferried over to survive the war in neutral Sweden--has a tendency to dominate historical reflections on wartime Denmark.
		Needless to say, this part of the story is largely ignored and certainly overshadowed in most histories of the occupation in Denmark.
