Copenhagen Sightseeing

The biggest takeaway from our Copenhagen history walk with a guide this morning was this: fire. Lots of fires burned down the city until the late 1800s.

A visit to the Danish Resistance Museum was sobering. There was a strong resistance movement against the Nazis when Hitler invaded Denmark in 1940. They saved many Danish Jews by sailing them in fishing boats to Sweden. Since 2016, I’ve spent some time contemplating resistance stories: who looks away from injustice, who accommodates to it, and who resists? So few resist.

For lunch: smørrebrød. I had egg, shrimp and caviar. Doug had avocado and egg.

And then there is the Royal Library, a beautiful space in which to read. It even had an old card catalog to thumb through.

And a few random shots along the way.
