Phelps2007 - Flight & Rescue

Flight & Rescue
By Kyle Hummer

Before they ran they did not have a clue on what was going on so they fought back.
When they began to run they only ran at night
There were many rescuers that helped them hide from the Nazi's
The rescuers put a lot on the line for the Jew if they were caught by the Nazi's they would be arrested or killed
Much help came from the Dutch and Japanese diplomats that offered a lot of help to the Jews
There were many people that wanted to let the Jews know what was happening.
So they made news letters for the Jews.
But they did not send that many letters out to the Jews
The pamphlets that were sent out to the Jews were single sheets
If the press is found it would be found out the shop would be closed down and owners arrested
during the searches the Danes helped to hide the Jews
The Jews ran to the near by woods to escape the arrests
some Jews even looked for people who had big boats
The Jews were also hidden in private homes and hotels
The Nazi's didn't want the Jews to be killed because they wanted to be able to work
If they were old they would be arrested and then killed
Many Jews told the Nazi's they were younger than their age or if they were young they said they were older
Varion Fry was a big supporter of rescues
He was born October 15,1907, NYC
Died Sept. 13,1957
