- Summary
- Niels Skov was born in 1919 in Denmark. Growing up, he was angered by Denmark's capitulation to Germany during the second world war. As a young man, he joined the Danish Resistance Movement. In 1944 he was arrested by the Gestapo. After being shuffled through numerous camps, he escaped with a fellow prisoner. He joined the allied forces and assisted in the capture of German war criminals. Shortly after the war, he left for America, where he earned a Ph.D. in Economics, and became a college professor. This collection contains a number of personal correspondences and evaluations from his time at The Evergreen State College in the mid to late eighties.
