Brave fishermen helped more than 95 % of the Jewish population in Denmark to safety in Sweden in a heroic act the world had never seen before. Many Jews escaped from Dragor on small boats including the fishing boat Elisabeth, which brought Jews to safety in Sweden on a cold and dark night in October 1943..
