    Yes, Denmark refused, I do not know for certain if they made it stick for the entire war. Popular legend has it that the King and Queen of Denmark showed up with Star of David yellow armbands and almost every Dane responded by wearing the armbands as well. How true the legend is, I cannot say for certain.
    Hungary also refused to deliver its Jews, when Hungary showed signs of bolting from the Axis in 1944, the Germans took over and transported most of Hungary;s Jews to Auschwitz/Birkenau.
