Norway, Finland, and Denmark

This chapter focuses on three countries: Norway, Finland, and Denmark. There were number of Jews lived in these three countries and Germany continued to force these three countries to send the Jews to them. However, it was not as easy as the Germans thought.
“The Church has God’s call and full authority to proclaim God’s law and God’s Gospel. Therefore, it cannot remain silent when God’s commandments are being templed underfoot. And now it is one of Christianity’s basic values which is being violated; the commandment of God which is fundamental to all society… Stop the persecution of Jews and stop the race hatred which, through the press, is being spread in our land.” This quote shows what the most Norway people thought. They thought that Jews are the same God's people, which assisted them to save Jews.
When Germany asked for the deportation of Jews, they could not refuse since they had not enough national power. Hence, they did their best to save as much people as possible durin the deportation. In Norway, several hospitals in Oslo, and also in Lillehammer, had become centres for hiding Jews until rescue could be arranged. Also, many Norwegians took part in smuggling Jews across the border between norway and Sweden. This underground effors in transporting Jews across Norway to safety in Sweden has resulted in saving hundreds of Jews, which was a somewhat successful outcome.
Moreover, Germany also asked Finland for deportation. "SS demanded that all the remaining German-and Austrian-born Jews in Finland be handed over." Although the protest were immidiate, the Finnish Cabinet agreed. However, Finland's SS chief, Heinrich Himmler changed his mind and refused to allow any further deportations. This saved 2000 Jews.
Lastly, Denmark faced similar event. While SS was looking for an opportunity to deport Denmark's Jews, "all groups of the Danish population went into action in order to save the Jews. Dozens of protests poured into the offices of the German authorities from Danish economic and social organizations." One of these protesters, Dr. Jorgen Gersfelt, helped more than a thousand Jews across The Sound from the harbour at Snekkersten. Also, they did not agree on the deportation, which shows that Danes' support for the Jews was remarkable.
Therefore, all three countries were very supportive, which helped the Jews to survive from that tragic event.
