The 30th anniversary of the rescue of Danish Jewry will be marked here Wednesday by a luncheon meeting co-sponsored by the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Boston, and the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. Bent Skou of the Royal Danish Embassy in Washington will be the luncheon’s guest of honor. The rescue of Danish Jewry took place during the fall of 1943 and was the only successful large-scale rescue operation to take place in Europe. All but 400 of Denmark’s 4000 Jews were saved during this period.
There will be no Daily News Bulletin dated April 8 due to the Passover holiday.
