Summary"In Denmark It Could Not Happen tells the tale of humanity; about men and women who risked their lives to rescue their fellow countrymen. The Jewish community of Denmark was the only one in Nazi-controlled Europe which survived WWII [intact] by escaping in small boats to neutral Sweden in 1943. Herbert Pundik was on one of these boats." —Back cover
