In the book "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Peter and Mama are taking the Jews, including Ellen Rosen, to Sweden to escape the Nazis during World War II. Sweden is a neutral country where they can find safety and refuge.
Uncle Henrik hid the Jews in the hold of his fishing boat, covered with a false bottom. They traveled to Sweden hidden under the fish on the boat.
In Number the Stars, Peter and Lise were involved with the Danish Resistance movement during World War II. They worked to help smuggle Jews out of Denmark to safety in Sweden. Their bravery and sacrifices were instrumental in saving many lives during this dark time.

The Nazi soldiers refused to bury Peter next to Lise in the book because Peter was Jewish, and the Nazis followed anti-Semitic policies that prohibited Jews from being buried with non-Jews. The Nazis discriminated against Jews in all aspects of life, even in death.
There is no Rosemary in Number the Stars. However, the Rosen's are Jews, which means their religion is Judaism.
About 700-850 were saved.
Mama had tripped and fell over a root running home after helping Peter get the Jews on to Uncle Henrik's boat and when she tripped she broke her ankle
the cigarettes mean the jews
There was clothes in the coffin, not a dead body. It was to help the Jews to escape.
She named it Number the Stars because in the book Peter reads a psalm.Psalms 147:4 (KJV) He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. In the book, it's "He who numbers the stars one by one"In that Psalms it is said God numbers the stars.... Just as God knows the name of each and every star, He also knew of each and every hurt and horrible times the Jewish people went through during that time. He had not forgotten them, each hurt, death, torture etc.. was and is on His heart.
Peter Nelson is a main character in Number the Stars. He is part of the Resistance, and he is also Leis Johansons' fience.
She is nice and she cares for all the jews of Denmark
