Family relationships reflect the dilemmas of the Danish people after their country is occupied during WWII. The successful owner of a big electronics factory tries to make the best of the situation in order to keep his workers employed. However, this leads him into a problematic collaboration with the Nazis. In contrast, his son reacts against the increasing oppression and persecution of Jews and communists by joining the rising resistance movement.
Guest Speaker: Award-winning author and historian Fred Rosenbaum will delve into the complex response of Danish citizens under Nazi occupation.
Underwritten by Sandy & Dave Anderson; Marty Aufhauser; Beth Harris Hoenninger; Karen & Jim Holtz; Jo-Ann & Arnold Jacobson, M.D.; Libitzky Family Foundation Fund; Carol & Ken Ogren; Mary Anne & Hugh Winig; Martha Ann & Sanford Wishnev.
