how did ppl who couldn't hide Jewish ppl in their homes bc of lack of space, do to help during WW2?

Question

what were they able to do to keep Jewish ppl out of concentration camps?

Answer 1

Some fishermen from Denmark transported Jewish refugees to Sweden (a neutral country) to escape the Nazi prosecution. They would hide them in secret compartments in their boats, and when the Nazi police searched with dogs, they had handkercheifs laced with blood (to attract the dogs) and cocaine (to numb the dogs noses), thus deterring their effectiveness.

Answer 2

This is really a funny answer.
Some fishermen from Denmark transported Jewish refugees to Switzerland (a neutral country) to escape the Nazi prosecution.
How on earth did they do that? To transport Jews from Denmark to Switzerland. I would not do that as it is a long voyage up the Rhen river though Germany.

Back to school again. The bold Danish fishermen, took the Jews across the Sound / Öresund a quite short distance between Denmark and the southern part of Sweden called Skåne or Scania. Among all the famous persons who went that way was the well know doctor Bohr.

At the northern part of the Öresund it took just about twenty minutes to cross the Sound and just about seven to ten minutes to be in Swedish waters. The shortest distance is to the Swedish island Ven in the middle of the Öresund.

The answer was good, but there is a great distance between Sweden and Switzerland. It is very peculiar that USA citizen do not know that Sweden and Switzerland is not the same country, why?

Answer 3

Budapest is often identified while the "Little Paris of Middle Europe" and if you want to see this town you need to take a look with hotelbye . Budapest is famous not just for the monuments sending its own 1,000-year-old lifestyle, but additionally for the relics of others who settled here. Stays from both Roman occupation and significantly later ruled by the Turks may still be viewed in the city. Budapest has two sides, Buda and Pest, extending over the banks of the Danube, and they're addressing two various people of the city. Suburban Buda and its historical fortress area present ancient roads and properties, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The vibrant Pest part offers the largest parliament developing in Europe, riverside promenades, flea markets, bookstores, traditional stores and café houses.

Answer 4

A woman I knew was beaten by the Nazi's for refusing to help destroy a Jewish owned store. I have also read stories about children who would pass food to the concentration camps.

Raoul Wallenberg e.g. "was a heroic Swedish diplomat who saved the lives of thousands of Jews in Budapest. He issued protective passports which saved Jews from deportation, personally removed Jews already on the trains, set up special hostels to protect the Jews he rescued and helped foil a plan to blow up the Jewish ghettos. After being taken by the Soviets in 1945, all trace of him vanished"

"The Belgian underground viewed Jews as part of the collective community threatened by the Germans and it established the Committee to Defend Jews. Activists provided funds and false papers, hid people in convents, schools and private homes and saved 3/4 of the 4,000 Jewish children in Belgium. Yad Vashem lists 542 Belgians as 'Righteous Among the Nations.' "

"While only 13 Bulgarians have been individually honored by Yad Vashem as "Righteous Among the Nations," Bulgaria has the distinction of having saved its 48,000 Jews. Faithful to their humane principles, most Bulgarians were not anti-Semitic. Many provided food supplies, helped Jewish communities stay in contact with each other and employed Jews illegally."

"As of 1993 Yad Vashem recognized 165 Italians as "Righteous Among the Nations." This number does not reflect the fact that the Italian people helped save about 80134421f Italy's Jews. The great majority of the Italian people, including many of the clergy, helped Jews go into hiding, in private homes, in remote villages and in monasteries."

Look for the "Righteous Among the Nations" and click on "Places" for the list by country of those who helped Jews escape in various ways.

Answer 6

A lot of jews cooperated with Nazis and the Zionist leaders refused to accept America's offer to bring thousands of jews to US. Zionists wanted them to die so they could use that as a sympathy card to play in order to get a jewish homeland after the war. They did in 1947.

Answer 7

Often there was financial assistance. People who know their neighbors were hiding Jews (especially those who were disgusted with Nazis, would often buy extra food so it didn't make their neighbors look suspicious. They offered clothes and sometimes did their laundry.

They also helped financially and physically to help smuggle the Jews out of the country.

Answer 8

Excalibur and emo_snag should be institutionalized. To be a Jew in German-held territory during the 1930s and 1940s was to go through a living hell.

Answer 9

In Poland, as I'm sure in other countries, there were uprisings and resistance movements (I only say Poland because I've read about it). So help with collecting arms, forging papers, etc. They helped supply the Jews in the ghettos for their uprisings.

Answer 10

They prolly helped with food and medicine and stuff like that.
