Jews and Christians in Denmark - From the Middle Ages to Recent Times, Ca. 1100-1948

In Jews and Christians in Denmark Martin Schwarz Lausten investigates how the antijudaistic attitudes in Church and society changed starting around 1100. While some anti-Semitic movements arose later, 7,000 Danish Jews were able to escape to Sweden with Christian assistance during the German occupation.
