annemarie+ellen+escape+to+sweden

Would you risk your life for your friend? Well Annemarie johanson risks her life for her friend. Annemarie is 11 years old and she has a best friend named Ellen. Ellen is a Jew. She has a Star of David necklace that represent Jewish and she is 11 years old. It started when Annemarie and Ellen were racing home from school one day in Copenhagen Denmark, when a German solider stopped them and told them to stop running in town. The soldiers were on every street corner. The Nazis were taking all the Jews and capturing all the Jews they could find. The johansens and Ellen went to Annemarie’s uncles house while élans parents took a different way. Then élans parents got there a couple months later and they used their uncle’s boat to escape to Sweden from the Nazis. My favorite part of this book is when the Rosens escape to Sweden. This is my favorite part because all of the Rosens are going to be safe and when the Nazis stop capturing the Jews the rosens can come back home and they will be safe for a long time and the war will end.
