Arrests and deportations of Danish Jews are still continuing, despite the fact that the majority of the Jews in the country have either fled to Sweden or were deported by the Germans last month, it is reported in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter today.
The paper reports that on Nov. 23, nineteen Jews were removed from the Horseroed camp, where the arrested Jews have been concentrated, and taken, under German escort, to the Elsinore railroad station where they were placed on a train bound for an unknown destination.
A group of 30 Jews who were captured while attempting to reach Sweden were sent to the Horseroed camp, the report adds. Of this group several were later released as a result of intervention by foreign diplomats, Dagens Nyheter says, indicating that they may have been nationals of neutral countries or of countries friendly to the Axis.
