Dragør

This guide to Dragør, near Copenhagen, opens on an October night in 1943, when a small fishing cutter named Elisabeth slips out of the harbor with its hold packed with silent passengers, skippered by a local fisherman named Einar Larsen. It traces the night Denmark's Jews learned the Germans planned to round them up, and how ordinary Dragør skippers began ferrying people across the strait to neutral Sweden. Walk down to the old harbor, where Elisabeth herself is restored and moored today.
