Two interactive online resources of the Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen provide entry into Jewish history and heritage, via clickable maps that furnish information about Jewish communities and individuals, as well as heritage sites and places where heritage sites once stood.
Klik & Find (Click and Find) is an interactive map that marks locations in three categories — Synagogues, Jewish Cemeteries, and People. You click on the pins for pop-ups that then expand into pages with text and photos.
There are not too many physical Jewish heritage sites in Denmark, so most of the pins link to the personal stories of — to date — 110 individuals and families, charting their history and movements.
The site provide information on the following synagogues (or places where synagogues once stood):
- Aarhus Synagoge
- Svendborg Synagoge
- Aalborg Synagoge
- Assens Synagoge
- Slagelse Synagoge
- Odense Synagoge
- Nakskov Synagoge
- Horsens Synagoge
- Fåborg Synagoge
- Fredericia Synagoge
- Randers Synagoge
- Helsingør Synagoge
- Københavns Synagoge – Krystalgade

Safe Haven, which went online at the end of 2018, is not related to physical heritage, but is a searchable database of information on the thousands of Jews who fled from Denmark to Sweden in October 1943 and later.
On arrival, every person was protocolled by the Swedish authorities. The protocols in the databse are copies from Stadsarkivet in Stockholm and offer an insight into the experiences of the Danish Jews during their flight. They also shed light on the routes, times of arrival and payments for the fare.
