The rescue of the Danish
Jews from Nazi
persecution in October
1943 is a unique
exception to the tragic
history of the Holocaust.
Within a few weeks some
7, 000 people managed to
escape, leaving the
German occupation forces
in Denmark almost empty
handed. What made this
possible? Who rescued the
Jews and who enabled
their rescue? What was
the interplay between the
Nazi leadership in
Berlin, their agents in
Copenhagen, the Danish
authorities and indeed
the Jews and their Danish
compatriots? For decades
these questions have been
answered only by
simplistic myths. Now,
for the first time, Bo
Lidegaard brings together
decades of research and
new evidence to tell the
story as seen both
through the eyes of
individual refugees and
through the prism of
politics at all levels,
from the Fuhrer himself
down to the Danish
police. Based on
contemporary
documentation, the
narrative draws upon
primary sources not
previously known to the
public, as well as on a
host of historical
research into various
aspects of the rescue.
Ultimately, this story
is a tribute to the
inspiring capacity of an
entire people to stand up
and do the right thing in
a time of crisis.

”The rescue of the
Danish Jews from Nazi
persecution in October
1943 is a unique
exception to the tragic
history of the Holocaust.
Over fourteen harrowing
days, as they were
helped, hidden and
protected by ordinary
people who spontaneously
rushed to save their
fellow citizens, an
incredible 7, 742 out of
8, 200 Jewish refugees
were smuggled out all
along the coast - on
ships, schooners,
fishing boats, anything
that floated - to Sweden.
Now, for the first time,
Bo Lidegaard brings
together decades of
research and new
evidence, including
unpublished diaries and
documents of families
forced to run for safety
and of those who
courageously came to
their aid, to tell this
story of ordinary glory,
of simple courage and
moral fortitude that
shines out in the midst
of the terrible history
of the twentieth century
and demonstrates how it
was possible for a small
and fragile democracy to
stand against the Third
Reich.”

The Denmark side of the
1980s was one of the last
truly iconic
international football
teams. Although they did
not win a trophy, they
claimed something much
more important and
enduring: glory, and in
industrial quantities.
They were a bewitching
fusion of futuristic
attacking football,
effortless Scandinavian
cool and laid-back
living. They played like
angels and lived like you
and I, and they were
everyone`s second team in
the mid-1980s. The story
of Danish Dynamite, as
the team became known,
is the story of a team of
rock stars in a polyester
Hummel kit. Heralding
from a country with no
real football history to
speak of and a population
of five million, this
humble and likeable team
was unique. Everymen off
the field and superheroes
on it, they were totally
of their time, and their
approach to the game was
in complete contrast to
the gaudy excess and
charmless arrogance of
today`s football stars.
That they ultimately
imploded in spectacular
style, with a shocking
5-1 defeat to Spain in
the 1986 World Cup in a
game that almost everyone
expected them to win,
only adds to their
legend.For the first time
in English, Danish
Dynamite tells the story
of perhaps the coolest
team in football history,
a team that had it all
and blew it in
spectacular style after a
live-fast-die-young World
Cup campaign. Featuring
interviews with the
players themselves,
including Michael
Laudrup, Preben Elkjaer
and Jesper Olsen, as
well as with those who
played or managed against
them, this is a joyous
celebration of one of the
most life-affirming teams
the world has ever seen.

For decades Denmark has
ranked at the top of the
world`s happiness
surveys. 5.6 million
Danes live in a country
that is dark and cold
nine months of the year
and where income taxes
are at almost 60 percent
but remain content. At a
time when the Western
world is focused on
unemployment woes,
government overreach and
anti-taxation lobbies,
our Danish counterparts
seem to breathe a
healthier and fresher
air.Interweaving
anecdotes and research,
Malene Rydahl explores
how the values of trust,
education and a healthy
work-life balance with
purpose contribute to a
”happy” population.
From eye-opening stories
about open-air vegetable
stands to babies safely
left unattended while
parents have coffee, to
generous paternity leave
policies, Rydahl
provides tips that we can
all apply to our daily
lives regardless of where
we live.

Candlelight is hygge; the
smell of freshly brewed
coffee is hygge; the feel
of crisp, clean bed
linen is hygge; dinner
with friends is hygge.
`Hygge`, pronounced
`hoo-ga`, is a Danish
philosophy that roughly
translates to `cosiness`.
But it is so much more
than that. It`s a way of
life that encourages us
to be kinder to
ourselves, to take
pleasure in the modest,
the mundane and the
familiar. It is a
celebration of the
everyday, of sensual
experiences rather then
things. It`s an entire
attitude to life that
results in Denmark
regularly being voted one
of the happiest countries
in the world. So, with
two divorces behind her
and her 50th birthday
rapidly approaching,
journalist Charlotte
Abrahams ponders whether
it`s hygge that`s been
missing from her life. Is
it a philosophy we can
all embrace? In a society
where lifestyle trends
tend to centre on
deprivation - be it no
sugar, no gluten, no
possessions - what does
cherishing yourself
actually mean? And will
it make her happy? In
Hygge, Charlotte
Abrahams weaves the
history of hygge and its
role in Danish culture
with her own attempts,
as an English woman, to
embrace a more hygge
life.In this beautifully
written and stylishly
designed book, she
examines the impact this
has on her home, her
health, her
relationships and, of
course, her happiness.
Light a candle, pour
yourself a glass of wine,
and get ready to enjoy
your more hygge life.

One little word is the
secret reminder of what
really matters in life:
Hygge. This Scandinavian
concept, pronounced
`hue-guh`, helps Denmark
to be the happiest nation
on earth. With no
equivalent in the English
language, this word
describes a moment of
happiness, warmth or
togetherness, and is
found in the little
things in life. We all
know this feeling of
hygge instinctively. It
happens when you curl up
in your favourite spot
with an absorbing book,
or when you share a
delicious meal with
wonderful friends. But we
don`t all know how to
make time for these
moments. Marie Tourell
Soderberg`s beautiful,
authentic guide will show
you that hygge is truly
all around, if you know
where to look. From home
interiors to cooking,
hygge touches all aspects
of everyday life. This
book will teach you how
to say hygge, how to
find hygge, and how to
create hygge. It will
help you to appreciate
just how important these
moments are, and why in
our busy modern lives
it`s more vital than ever
to switch off and make
time for hygge. About the
author Marie Tourell
Soderberg is a Danish
actress, born in
Copenhagen.When she`s not
on stage or screen, she
escapes from the drama by
practicing the art of
hygge. For this book,
she has travelled the
country, speaking to
ordinary Danes about what
this word means to them,
and hearing from experts
on why we all need more
hygge in our lives.

be the happiest country
in the world. That`s down
to one thing: hygge.
`Hygge has been
translated as everything
from the art of creating
intimacy to cosiness of

presence of soothing
things. My personal
favourite is cocoa by
candlelight...` You know

outcome. At last, in the

thought their moment had
come...Andrew Gordon`s
