Arnold, who gave the Indians back to America in Blood Brother, now pays tribute
to the nationals of Denmark in a Uris type novel about Denmark's resistance to
the extermination of its Jews by the Nazis. The Jews have had immunity during
the four years of the Occupation but now Hitler has defaulted on his original
promise and on Rosh Hashanah a round-up is to take place. This is based on the
historical fact; more than 8000 Jews reached Sweden and safety (via freight
cars or fishing boats) and less than 500 were sent to a concentration camp.
Representing the Fuhrer is one Colonel Buhle of the Gestapo; heading the Danish
resistance is a business man, quiet, anti-heroic Peter Hansen; and in between
there is a large cast of characters without a single characterization as the
story is told shifting from one to another, synthesizing and synchronizing this
particular story. It is adequately readable and eminently forgettable.

Does anyone want to take a stab at answering this question I got from a patron?
"I am trying to remember the name of a novel I read in the 1960’s. It was the
story of the evacuation of Jewish people at night by boat from Denmark during
the Holocaust. I think it was a paperback book. Do you have any leads?"
Email me if you think you have an idea.
