That certainly was a proud time of the Danish people. However, the jews were also forced to pay vast amounts - in cash, jewelry and more - to the kind fishermen who ferried the jews over to Sweden. Not all danes participated out of kindness of heart. The heroes of then - the fishermen - were what we today label as "people smugglers". The real heroes were the danes who participated without pay and simply because the jews were their freinds, neighbours, parents of their childrens friends etc.
