Your Reaction to the book: I thought that this book was very insightful. I learned a lot about the Demark and the German occupation. I was amazing to learn about how Jewish were able to get out of German occupation countries. There was a lot of hope in this book.
Potential Problems: There was not a lot of mention of the war, but a lot of facts to go with it
Recommendations: people who like historical events, or teaching about what being brave means.
