Special performance 8 October in the presence of HM The Queen and the Prime Minister: Join us for a special evening of music, speeches and performances in the Royal Theatre. 

In October, it is 80 years since the Nazi occupying power tried to arrest and deport all Danish Jews. With the help of other Danes, more than 6000 Jews managed to seek refuge and escape to Sweden. But 472 Jews were detained and deported to Theresienstadt, from which 53 never returned. 

"October '43" has since become a marker for the importance of social cohesion, civil courage and personal responsibility. It will be marked on Sunday 8 October with a special performance on the Royal Theatre's old stage with music, performance and speeches.
