Number the Stars by Lois Lowry is a magnificent book that will not only inspire Jewish people, but can inspire anybody around the world. This universal book tells the story of a girl who has to keep her best friend, who happens to be Jewish, hidden during the Holocaust. Copenhagen, Denmark is where this story takes place. During the Holocaust people of Denmark were captured if the German soldiers found out they were Jewish. Number the Stars tells the story of two best friends and how one of them is trying to get to freedom in Sweden.

Ok, this book was awesome.It really shows you the prejudice and how things used to be in hitlers times. Lowry had done it again, and I frankly would recommend this book to everyone I know.

I read this book last year in Miss.Breslin's class. Some parts were hard to bear and things were hard for people. We are taught to be nice, so things like The Holocaust and Slavery don't happen. People were taken from their homes and used as slaves, both were hgorrible times.+

I thought that this book was really good. It gave some information, and it was reaslly cool how Ellen escaped to Sweeden.My favorite charicher was uncle Henric because he was a farmer.I also really liked when the two soldiers stopped the children on the steet coner and asked them questions.

This is a very interested book about World War 2. It is a book about the German resistance against Hitler. This book is interested because it's about two children named Annemarie and Ellen. It talks about how Annemarie and her family tries to help Ellen stay away from getting captured and executed. I dont want to give the book away so im not going to go any further okay? Good Luck on reading the book! :)

This book was about Annemarie Johasen finding the strength and courage to save her best friend Ellen.When I read through it, it was very exciting and it showed me what brave is about.
It really scared me that Nazis were able to kill Jews whenever they wanted to, but Annemarie and Ellen sold it out bravely and that made me happy and also proud.

This book is very good in the way that it shows you the how bad the holocaust. I think this book could be better in a way that it could have been longer and show more fighting and gore.
