Answer 2

A brief flashback to September 29, 1943 establishes the background to the rescue of the Danish Jews. Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, an attache for Nazi Germany, contacts Danish social democrat Hans Hedtoft and notifies him of the intended deportation. Hedtoft warns the head of the Jewish community, C.B. Henriques, and the acting Chief rabbi, Marcus Melchior, who spread the warning. Annemarie Johansen and her friend, Ellen Rosen, are two ten year old girls, who live in Denmark during World War 2. Annemarie, her 5-year-old sister Kirsti, and Ellen, are 3 girls in a country that is not free. There are Nazis on every street corner in Copenhagen, where they live. Butter, Sugar, Coffee, Cigarettes, and more stuff, are gone. Electricity and many other things have been rationed. After an encounter with two German Nazis, Annemarie and Ellen are much more careful. Later on, it turns out that for no good reason, the Germans are getting Jews and only JEWs, and sending them to bad places. At the synagogue, the Nazis have taken the names and addresses of all the Jewish people in Copenhagen. Ellen and her family are Jewish. Ellen's parents have fled with Peter, Annemarie's older sister's fiance. Her older sister, Lise, died years ago. Ellen must stay with the Johansens, pretending to be Lise, even though she is half the age of the real Lise. Soldiers go into the Johansen's house at 4 in the morning, and think that the Rosens are "Paying a visit" to the Johansens. Annemarie and Ellen wake up and Annemarie breaks Ellen's Star of David necklace of Ellens neck. If the soldiers saw it, they would have known Ellen was a Jews. The soldiers see Ellen's dark hair, and start getting suspicious, because the Johansens have blond hair, and Ellen has brown hair. Luckily, Lise had brown hair as an infant, and Mr. Johansen shows the Nazis a picture of baby Lise. They left without dignity. Mrs. Johansen, Annemarie, Ellen, and Kirstie leave the next morning to go to Uncle Henrik's house by the sea. You can see Sweden, a Nazi-free country, right from uncle Henrik's house. Before they had gone to his house, Mr. Johansen had spoke in code to Henrik. When they get there, Henrik is just like his ordinary self. The next day, Henrik says that Annemarie's Great-Aunt Birte has died. They have a huge casket in the middle of the living room. Annemarie knows that there is no aunt Birte, but learns from her uncle, that it is easier to be brave if you dont know something, so Annemarie doesn't tell Ellen. Later on, many people come to mourn. Annemarie doesn't understand. Later on, Nazis come to the house and see all the people and start questioning the family. They explain that Great-Aunt Birte had died, and they are doing traditional rituals. The Nazis say to open the casket, and Mama acts fast. She says that Great-Aunt Birte had Typhus, a very contagious and dangerous disease, or so the doctor said. She says, Who cares! And goes to the casket to open it, but one of the soldiers slaps her and says they can open it when the soldiers leave. They leave, but just in case, they continue on with the ceremony. Peter is there. Peter reads the beginning of Psalm 147:4 from The Bible to the group, recounting the Lord God numbering the stars again. Annemarie thinks that it is impossible to number the stars in the sky. She also thinks that the world is cold and very cruel, like the sky or the ocean. Mrs. Rosen is scared of both. Peter opens the casket and gives the warm clothing and blankets concealed within it to the Jewish families. They depart in smaller groups to avoid attracting attention. Ellen says goodbye to Annemarie and her mother. In the morning, Annemarie sees her mother crawling in the distance because she broke her ankle. When she gets near her mother, she sees a package that seems of great importance to the Resistance, and that Mr. Rosen dropped when he accidentally tripped on a flight of stairs. Mrs. Johansen tells Annemarie to fill a basket with food and the packet, and run as fast as she can. Annemarie runs off onto a wooded path in the direction of her uncle's boat. She is halted by Nazi soldiers with dogs. When they question Annemarie about what she is doing out so early, she lies, saying that she is taking a basket with a meal to her uncle. The soldiers do not believe her, and one of them grabs at the basket. However, the soldiers eventually let her go, and Annemarie makes it to her uncle's boat. She gives Uncle Henrik an envelope that contains a handkerchief. When the Nazi dogs taken on the boat sniff the handkerchief, they can no longer smell Uncle Henrik's hidden "cargo": the Jewish people he is smuggling to safety. Uncle Henrik returns to Denmark later that evening from Sweden. He tells Annemarie that many Jewish people, including the Rosens, were hiding in his boat. He also explains that the handkerchief in her package contained the scent of rabbit blood, which attracted the dogs, and the strong odor of cocaine, which numbs their noses, and thus they wouldn't be able to track down the Jews in Henrik's boat. Several revelations are made: Peter was captured and executed by the Nazis in the town square. Two years later, the war in Europe ends, and all of Denmark celebrates. The Jews who were forced to leave Denmark return and find that their friends and neighbors have kept up their apartments in hopes of their return. Annemarie learns that her sister Lise died, not in an accident, but because the Nazis intentionally hit her with a military car because of her work in the Danish Resistance. It is unknown if Ellen or her parents return to Copenhagen.
