"Righteous Among The Nations"
The Danish resistance movement as a collective effort, rather than as individuals, has been honoured at Yad Vashem in Israel as being part of the "Righteous Among the Nations". The rescue of the Jews of Denmark is represented in Yad Vashem's Holocaust History Museum by an authentic fishing boat from the Danish village of Gilleleje that was used to rescue Jews.
Also honoured are a handful of Danes who were not members of the official resistance movement, and Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz.
