Book Reviews of Number the Stars
Book Review: true to life description of Denmark's bravery in helping the Jews.
Summary: 5 Stars
Being Jewish myself I can appreciate this book as an accurate and history based novel that wlii be appreciated by children ages8 and up. The story of the Jews in Denmark is not as widely exposed in history books as those of Poland Germany and perhaps Holland because of Anne Frank.Lois Lowry wrote about it in a true to life way and showed the generally peaceful proJewish nature of the Denmark citizens and the underground in such a descriptive manner that this could be termed a history book.
Summary of Number the Stars
Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated". Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life. An ALA Notable Book. A "School Library Journal" Best Book of the Year. Teacher's Guide. BDD Online-Teacher's Resource Center.The evacuation of Jews from Nazi-held Denmark is one of the great untold stories of World War II. On September 29, 1943, word got out in Denmark that Jews were to be detained and then sent to the death camps. Within hours the Danish resistance, population and police arranged a small flotilla to herd 7,000 Jews to Sweden. Lois Lowry fictionalizes a true-story account to bring this courageous tale to life. She brings the experience to life through the eyes of 10-year-old Annemarie Johannesen, whose family harbors her best friend, Ellen Rosen, on the eve of the round-up and helps smuggles Ellen's family out of the country. Number the Stars won the 1990 Newbery Medal.
