Don't forget Denmark and Yugoslavia. By the way, I just read the new issue of Newsweek where there was an interesting blurb, not quite a full article, about a certain provincial town in which many Frenchmen saved Jews at great risk to themselves, so the French should not be demonized en masse.

I was speaking of the French Vichy government.I saw an interview on TV where an Italian Jew in the custody of the Italians was allowed out and about on his own and wandered into a French Vichy zone where he was arrested by the police.He recalled being rescued by the Italians.Apparently Italian concentration camps were run like internment centers and no abuses are even alleged to have taken place,let alone murder.Survival was a matter of location.You're right about Denmark-I shouldn't have overlooked it.There were many Germans for that matter who concealed Jews from the Nazis.
