Rescue Route 1 is a thoughtfully curated tour that combines a visit to the Jewish Museum or the Copenhagen Synagogue, followed by a drive to the historic Dragør fishing village.

Led by a knowledgeable Jewish guide, this tour uncovers the incredible story of Danish Jewry, spanning from King Christian IV’s invitation to the first Jewish families in 1622 to the present day.

Dragør Fishing Village and the Rescue of Danish Jews
In Dragør, your guide will share personal accounts of the miraculous rescue of 7,000 Danish Jews in October 1943, shedding light on the bravery of local fishermen who helped over 95% of Denmark’s Jewish population escape to safety in Sweden.

During the dark and stormy nights of October 1943, many Jewish families fled aboard small fishing boats, including the historic vessel Elisabeth K571, which carried countless refugees to freedom in one of history’s most extraordinary acts of courage.
