1943World War II: Adolf Hitler orders the deportation of Danish Jews.[†]
The history of Jews in Denmark goes back to the 1600s. Although there were very likely Jewish merchants, sailors, and among others, who entered Denmark during the Middle Ages, back in around the year 1000, when Denmark became the first Christian Kingdom until 1536, no efforts were made to establish a Jewish community. At present, the Jewish community in Denmark comprises about 6,000 persons.
