A lot of people hid money in WWII and never found it again. It seems simple, but think about it. If you bury it outside, people can see you do it or (since war changes things) it can be hard to find again, even with a map that the average person might have back then. Hiding it in you house was even more dangerous. It seems like a simple problem now, but really, it wasn't.

Fair point, but not really applicable in Denmark. The Nazi's occupied Denmark more or less without resistance, so they were more subject to ideological hardship than the usual horrors of war.
Actually, there was an active Danish resistance to the German occupation, particularly toward the end of the war.
Denmark was the only occupied place where Jews didn't wear the Star of David and almost none was sent to concentration camps. They have a lot to be proud of.
