Abstract
FRAGALE, Luca Irwin. Freemasonry, Resistance & Rescue of the Jews in Denmark (1943). REHMLAC [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.2, pp.1-23. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac.v15i2.53108.
This study is about an exclusive coexistence. At the height of the Nazi threat over Europe, only in Denmark we can find simultaneously:
a) a freely and officially active freemasonry
b) a resistance movement
c) an organized aid operation for fleeing Jews.
Freemasonry carried out a clandestine activity during European totalitarian regimes, although it officially survived only in Denmark (and Iceland), Sweden, the U.K., Ireland and Switzerland. This research tries to shed a light on the likely involvement of Danish freemasonry in the rescue of Danish Jews and in the resistance movement.
