The subject of Sunday’s Kristallnacht program was the role King Christian X played in Denmark’s rescue of its Jewish population during WWII. The story was retold and then celebrated by the presentation of a U.S. Senate Certificate of Special Recognition to Denmark’s Ambassador. The certificate reads: “Presented in memory of King Christian X, who emboldened the Danish people to resist Nazism and rescue its Jewish community.”
