Number the Stars

This historical fiction novel is set in 1943 in Nazi-occupied Denmark. It tells the story of two friends, one Jewish and one not Jewish, and how the non-Jewish family works with others in the Danish Resistance movement to save the lives of their Jewish friends and neighbors.

It is a gentle introduction to the Holocaust that helps readers understand the everyday aspects of courage and true heroism.
