Abstract
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.
