About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Danish Resistance in Copenhagen opens at 2am on April 28, 2013, when fire tore through the wooden building honoring the Danes who once sabotaged German factories, printed illegal newspapers, and smuggled Jews to Sweden. It follows the arson investigation, the suspicion that fell on neo-Nazis still bitter about what the museum honored, and a case that has never been solved. Look for the green, camouflaged rotunda breaking the surface of the grass around you.
