In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Ellen Rosen and her parents would have a better life in Sweden because it was a neutral country during World War II and provided a safe haven for Jewish refugees. Ellen's family would be protected from the Nazis and have the opportunity to rebuild their lives without fear of persecution. Sweden's policies towards refugees during the war allowed many Jewish families like the Rosens to find safety and support.
