Den Danske Forening (DDF, The Danish Society) is the largest extra-parliamentary anti-immigrant group in Denmark.[1]

Antisemitism and Xenophobia Today describe the group as follows:

DDF members have in the past emphasized the Jewish origins of some of their members and the fact that two of its founding members helped Jews escape to Sweden during the Second World War, thereby attempting to deflect any accusations of antisemitism. DDF is a clearly racist and, in particular, Islamophobic organization with a membership of approximately 3,000. It was established in 1987 and is currently led by Professor Ole Hasselbalch and the Lutheran priest, Søren Krarup.[2]
