The evacuation of Jews from Nazi-held Denmark is one of the great untold stories of World War II. On September 29, 1943, word got out in Denmark that Jews were to be detained and then sent to the death camps. Within hours the Danish resistance, population and police arranged a small flotilla to herd 7,000 Jews to Sweden. Lois Lowry fictionalizes a true-story account to bring this courageous tale to life. She brings the experience to life through the eyes of 10-year-old Annemarie Johannesen, whose family harbors her best friend, Ellen Rosen, on the eve of the round-up and helps smuggles Ellen's family out of the country. Number the Stars won the 1990 Newbery Medal. 

真正的勇敢是“虽然害怕，但很坚定”

1943年，德军士兵占领了丹麦，开始搜捕城中的犹太人。10岁的普通女孩安娜玛丽目睹了爸爸、妈妈和舅舅如何帮助她的好朋友艾伦一家躲避抓捕，并被他们的勇气所感染。紧要关头，妈妈受伤，安娜玛丽不得不提上午餐篮，秘密传递掩护艾伦一家出逃的重要道具。在黑暗的森林里，当她独自面对士兵的盘问和警犬的嗅闻，不太勇敢的安娜玛丽展现了非凡的勇气……

透过10岁女孩安娜玛丽的眼睛，我们将看到二战历史上一个真实发生的奇迹。当德军在丹麦发布重新“安置”犹太人的命令后，仅仅几天之间，丹麦民众自发将本国的7000多名犹太人用小渔船转移到了海对岸的瑞典，使悲剧免于发生。
