First Edition; Inscribed and Signed by the author. The history of the persecution of the Jews of Denmark during the Nazi occupation, and of the work of the Resistance movement in aiding their escape. Bertelsen was amongst other Danes honoured by being named to the Yad Vashem list identifying them as the “Righteous Among Nations”. (A summary of this history can be found at Wikipedia under the title “Rescue of the Danish Jews”.)
Text in Danish. Subsequently reprinted, but Scarce signed in original format. Apart from the content, this is a true artifact of the Second World War, bearing the signature of a hero of those days. A Very Good copy indeed, showing mild edge-wear only; fading to the spine titles; clean in tight binding.
