Description:
Leni Yahil, an Israeli historian, is the author of the first authoritative, detailed and evidence-based account of the rescue of the Danish Jews, based on her steadfast research using all the available resources available during her study in Denmark (which became her doctoral dissertation.) While certain aspects of her account were subject to debate among a variety of subsequent interpretations by historians (as a function of later archival revelations), by and large her book is the landmark for all serious scholars of the topic.
