Number the Stars by Lois Lowry*

Annemarie and her family reside in Copenhagen, Denmark during the Nazi occupation.  Her best friend is Ellen, a Jew.  When the Germans begin to transport Jews away, Annemarie's family must make decisions that place them in harm's way.
An amazing story to give us a glimpse of the bravery of the Danish people.
*Highly recommend.

Pair with Lauren Tarish's I Survived The Nazi Invasion.
