Hertz - Bogtrykkergaarden, Copenhagen: 1943.
The Jews of Denmark, Germany's smaller neighbor to the north, remained virtually unmolested for three and a half years, from the German occupation on April 9th, 1940, until the crisis at the end of August 1943. At that time, the Nazi's impending intentions to deport the Jews of Denmark became known and a short while later, on the very eve of Rosh Hashanah - through a concerted effort on the part of both the Jewish community and the Danish resistance movement - the majority of Danish Jewry were spirited away by boat to safety in neutral Sweden where they remained until the end of the war. Consequently, this religious calendar was produced for Jews in a country where each and every one had fled abroad.
