In late September, 1943, Danish authorities learned that the Nazis occupying Denmark were about to deport the Jews to concentration camps. Very quickly, the Danish people arranged a fleet of fishing boats, which carried nearly all the Jews in Denmark to Sweden. Joan Betty Stuchner brings this historical event to life through the eyes of David Nathan, whose family is smuggled out of the country by his courageous Christian friend Else Jensen and her family.
