About

In the vibrant area of Indre By, Copenhagen, the Danish Jewish Museum offers a remarkable exploration of Jewish culture and history within Denmark. Housed in a 17th-century building, its postmodern interior, designed by master architect Daniel Libeskind, provides a dynamic contrast that enhances your experience. A visit of one to two hours will lead you through poignant exhibits that chronicle the Jewish community's enduring presence and their inspiring rescue during World War II. Well-regarded for offering a moving narrative with thought-provoking displays, the museum not only illuminates critical historical moments but also celebrates the resilience and survival of a cherished culture. Even the most practical elements, like the available facilities, make your visit comfortable.

מוזיאון וסיור טובים מאד. מעניין! העיצוב של המוזיאון מעולה. מדהים לגמרי הסיפור של הצלת יהדות דנמרק על ידי הדנים בשואה. מה שחסר לי זה התייחסות למה שקורה ליהדות דנמרק מאז השואה, ובמיוחד- במאה ה-21. וגם- התייחסות למה שקורה בשנתיים האחרונות בישראל, משהו על קהילת הישראלים שמתרחבת, והקשר של כל זה ליהדות דנמרק.

Very small, but nicely tells the moving history of Jews in Denmark and the successful effort of the Danes and Swedes to save Danish Jews from the Nazi death camps.You won't need much time, but the time your spend will be worth it.
