COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s Queen Margrethe has opened a new museum that tells the story of the generations of refugees who have shaped Danish society. The story of the museum, which was inaugurated Saturday, starts with the Germans who fled the Soviet advance during World War II. “Flugt — Refugee Museum of Denmark” was created on the site of a camp in southwestern Denmark that housed up to 100,000 refugees from Germany in the postwar years. Denmark was a haven for refugees in the past. But in recent years it has sought to place strict limits on the number of asylum-seekers that it will accept.
