The Jewish community of Copenhagen was founded in the seventeenth century by Sephardim, later joined by Ashkenazim, and benefited from increasing tolerance in Enlightenment Denmark, until full emancipation in the early nineteenth century. Well integrated into Danish society, its members were present in commerce, finance, the liberal professions, and cultural life, and the city had a grand synagogue and communal institutions. In October 1943, faced with the German occupier's deportation plan, almost all Danish Jews were saved through a maritime evacuation to Sweden, organized with the assistance of the population. After the war, the community reconstituted itself and remains active.
