Jørgen Arboe-Rasmussen (5 March 1925 – 5 or 6 February 1945) was a member of the Danish resistance killed by the German occupying power.
Biography
Arboe-Rasmussen was born 5 March 1925 to chief editor of Ekstrabladet Erik Arboe-Rasmussen and wife Alma Louise Amanda née Hansen Fossing[2][3] and baptized in Christian's church on the third Sunday after Easter the same year.[1]
On 5 February 1945 Arboe-Rasmussen was gunned down in Café Brønnum near Kongens Nytorv[3] in August Bournonvilles Passage 1 (at that time named Tordenskjoldsgade).
He was brought to the German medical clinic at Nyelandsvej where he died of his wounds the same[4] or the following day.[2][3]
After his death
After the liberation Arboe-Rasmussen's remains were exhumed at Ryvangen and transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine of the university of Copenhagen.[2]
On 27 June 1945 a memorial service was held for him in the Church of Holmen.[2][3]
On 29 August 1945 Arboe-Rasmussen and 105 other victims of the occupation were given a state funeral in the memorial park founded at the execution and burial site in Ryvangen where his remains had been recovered. Bishop Hans Fuglsang-Damgaard led the service with participation from the royal family, the government and representatives of the resistance movement.[2][3][5]
A memorial plaque at August Bournonvilles Passage 1 commemorates his sacrifice for Denmark.[4]
Every year on 5 February the Danish Union of Journalists awards the memorial grant Jørgen Arboe Rasmussens Mindelegat to a journalist trainee at a provincial newspaper.[6]
