 #ag1 #bjac,mr4 ,menendez submitted the 
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign          
,relations  ,,resolution  ,to           
commemorate the #gjth anniversary of the
 heroic rescue of ,danish ,jews during  
the ,second ,world ,war by the ,danish  
people4  ,whereas1 in the fall of #aidc1
 the ,nazis occupied ,denmark and issued
 orders that the ,danes deport all      
,danish ,jews to concentration camps    
where the ,jews would eventually be     
exterminated2 ,whereas the ,danish      
people1 as a result of the ,nazi        
mandate1 refused to accept the          
prosecution of the ,jews and began a    
mission of mercy on ,october #a1 #aidc1 
smuggling ,jews across the ,oresund     
,strait to neutral ,sweden via small    
boats and fishing cutters2 ,whereas the 
,danish rescuers unselfishly risked     
their own lives1 avoiding ,german       

patrols for weeks during the rescue     
operations2 ,whereas approximately #ij  
percent of the ,danish ,jews were saved 
from certain death at the hands of the  
,nazis by the sheer courage and         
compassion demonstrated by the ,danes2  
and ,whereas it is imperative that      
future generations continue to remember 
and understand what happened so that the
 horrors of the ,holocaust will never be
 repeated3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that 
the ,senate-- 7#a7 recognizes and       
commemorates the bravery and valor of   
those ,danes who participated in the    
#aidc rescue operations that saved the  
lives of #g1cjj ,jews who would         
otherwise have perished in ,nazi        
concentration camps2 and  7#b7 declares 
that the world owes a great debt to     
these ,danes who did not turn a blind   
eye on the dangers that faced ,jews     
under ,nazi occupation and continue to  
serve as inspiration to others in times 
of difficulties and challenges4
