"If you're looking for a realistic picture of Danish Resistance, this is a really good book. Ellen Levine combines the testimonies of Danish people with enough history of WWII to give the context. I was fascinated by the unity of the Danish people as they responded to the horror of what really happened and stood in defense of oppressed and hunted people. The reader gets to see life during WWII in Denmark through the eyes of those who really lived it, people from elementary school age through adults. The book is written for children, and is sensitive to that audience in the way the horror is revealed."
"This is a history book written for children. I loved reading it. I've been interested in learning more about the Danish Resistance for years, ever since a Danish woman I knew told us her memories of the occupation, and that Denmark had saved most of its Jews from Hitler's grasp. 95% of Denmark's Jewish population escaped, thanks to the efforts of the Danish population. There were more Danish policeman sent to concentration camps than Danish Jews. And most of the Danish Jews who were sent to Theriesenstadt (sp?) were rescued by the Danes, who refused to forget about them. Many of the Danish Jews returned after the war, and came back to homes that had been kept for them, sometimes cleaned and painted with flowers waiting, and well-cared-for pets. If I have any more children, I think I'd like to find a Danish name..."
"Having lived in Denmark for two years, I wanted to get a detailed history about what happened to the Danes during WWII. This book was phenominal is describing the events that brought Denmark into the war and how they dealt with the Nazis. I very good book about an inspiring people."
