Jørgen Kieler (born 23 August 1919), a Danish physician, is remembered primarily for his participation in resistance activities under the German occupation of Denmark in the early 1940s. Together with his sister, Elsebet, he published Frit Denmark or ''Free Denmark'', an illegal newspaper. As a member of the Holger Danske resistance group, he helped hundreds of Danish Jews to escape to Sweden and avoid extermination.〔(Jørgen Kieler, M.D. and Elsebet Kieler from the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous ). Retrieved 17 April 2008.〕 On 21 May 1944 Jørgen Kieler smuggled the last letter written by condemned resistance fighter Georg Quistgaard out of prison. Despite capture by the Germans and time in a concentration camp, he returned to Denmark after the war and then completed his studies in the United States. In 1980, he became director of research at Kræftens Bekæmpelse (the Danish Cancer Research Institute). Kieler has written a number of books about the German occupation and about concentration camp syndrome. ==Bibliography (selected)== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jørgen Kieler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
