Seller Description
How brave are you, little Annemarie?" It is 1943. and for Annemarie Johansen, life in Copenhagen is a complicated mix of ordinary home and school time, food shortages, and the constant presence of Nazi soldiers. Bravery seems a vague virtue-one possessed by dragon-slaying knights in the bed- time stories she tells her younger sister. Kirsti. As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, the Johansens take in Annemarie's best friend, Ellen Rosen, and pretend she is part of the family. The girls live like sisters, until it becomes clear something more needs to be done to save Ellen, her family, and the Jews of Denmark. In this tale of an entire nation's heroism, the story of the Danish Resistance and their plan to smuggle the entire Jewish population of Denmark-nearly seven thousand people-across the sea to Swe- den is told with pride and hope through one young girl's eyes. Brand new book, never been used.
