Henny and her boat

Describes the remarkable story of Henny Sinding, who organised the 1943 escape of hundreds of Jews, on the vessel Gerda III, from the shores of Nazi-occupied Denmark to the safety of Sweden. Each night for a month Henny bravely escorted Jews from secret rendezvous points to a dockside warehouse and then slipped them past Nazi sentries into Gerda III’s cargo hold. Gerda III’s crew completed the escape--motoring daily past German warships and mines to unoccupied Sweden.
