Number the Stars By Lois Lowry

Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen are living in Copenhagen. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching in their town.
The Nazis won't stop. The Jews of Denmark are fleeing from the Nazis. They're trying to get to Sweden to become free Jews.

My Teacher asks us why we are reading about this book. Our class said we learn about history so we can learn from the good things and mistakes people have done in the past.

Then we can make changes for the better of the future.
