World War ll And Number The Stars

Our class read a book called Number The Stars. It is about events in World War 2. A very important character in the book is Annemarie. Annemarie is a little girl who lives in the time of World War 2. Annemarie, her best friend Ellen, and her little sister, Kirsti live in Denmark. Denmark was a place where the Germans invaded.

Hitler has a whole army of Nazi soldiers who capture Jewish people to be deported. You can see pictures of World War 2 and read about many facts about how badly the Jews were treated.

Ellen and her family are Jewish so she has to try her best to blend in and pretend not to be Jewish. They leave Denmark so Ellen will be safe and will not be taken away by soldiers. At the end of the book, Annemarie keeps a necklace that Ellen had so she can keep it safe and Annemarie hopes to see Ellen again.
