I would like to take this opportunity to commend Rabbi A. Allen Block and the congregation of Temple Emanuel of Canarsie. in Brooklyn. for furthering the cause of Judaism and Ecumenism. On March 23. 1984. Temple Emanuel officially paid tribute to the Danish People for their humanitarian efforts during World War II. According to historians. the April 1940 Nazi invasion into Denmark was to be the beginning of deportation and annihilation of Danish Jewry. The Danish people. however. under the leadership of King Christian X. managed to organize a rescue operation for their Jewish neighbors. Danish Jews were thus saved from the tragic fate that befell so many European Jews.
