King Christian of Denmark wore the yellow star (maybe he had a wife named Kristina, I don't know) and daily rode, wearing his yellow star, on his horse through Tivoli Garden for all the Danes to see. His reasoning was all Danes were equal and what one Dane had to wear, they all had to wear. That caused enough consternation with the Nazis - because then every Dane then wore the yellow star - that the time of Nazi confusion allowed the Danes to smuggle the Jews out of Denmark on boats into Sweden. I think a total of 4 or 6 Danish Jews were ultimately lost.
One of the boats used used in the rescue of the Danish Jews is on dispay at Mystic Seaport, in Mystic, Connecticutt. Vince The one notable exception among world leaders being Queen Kristina (from Sweden I think, or was it Denmark or Holland?) who wore the yellow star of David herself. Then one wonders why the Israelis only rely on themselves to garantee their safety, just a thought. Laurent
