Courage to Act: Rescue in Denmark is the Museum of Jewish Heritage's first exhibition for visitors ages 9 and up, and tells the remarkable story of the rescue of the Danish Jews during the Holocaust. Together, Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors of all ages mobilized to create one of the most effective—and exceptional—examples of mass resistance and escape in modern history. 

Using state-of-the-art technology and creative storytelling, Courage to Act immerses visitors in this inspiring story. Age-appropriate themes of separation, bravery, and resilience help young people make connections to their own lives and reflect on the dangers of prejudice—as well as their own potential for compassionate, moral, and courageous collective action and upstanding.
