One ...Very interesting and inspiring post, Bishop. One small quibble: the legend of the Danes (led by their king) wearing yellow stars in solidarity with the Jews is apocryphal. See snopes.com at http://www.snopes.com/history/govern/denmark.asp<br />However, the real-life story is even more inspiring: when the Germans issued the order to deport the Danish Jews, the Danish population banded together and saved nearly all of the Danish Jews by deploying fishing boats and every other kind of boat to get them to safety in Sweden. Fewer than 300 Danish Jews perished in the Holocaust. The truth makes your point just as well as the legend. Thanks for your very interesting posts from the Holy Land!<br /><br />Susan SnookSusan Brown Snookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082261006216548874noreply@blogger.com
