Around 1600 King Christian IV invited Jews of the Portuguise Nation from the Netherlands to settle in Denmark.
On a guidet tour I will tell you the history of the Jewish Danes from that time and until the murder of volunteer guard Dan Uzan by a Muslim terrorist at the gates of Copenhagen's Great Synagogue in 2015.
