Annemarie accuses Uncle Henrik of lying to her about Great Aunt Birte because she never accepted the idea that the family's elderly relative had emigrated to the U.S. Instead, Annemarie learned the truth about what happened to Great Aunt Birte during the war when she visited Uncle Henrik and his family at their seaside home.

Uncle Henrik showed up at the funeral for Great-aunt Birte in "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry. He was in disguise as a mourner, but his presence was actually part of a plan to help the Jewish refugees escape from the Nazis.
In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Birte is a character who is a member of the Johansen family's housemaid staff. She helps the family in their efforts to protect Ellen Rosen, a Jewish girl hiding from the Nazis during the Holocaust. Birte plays a small but important role in the story's message of bravery and resistance in the face of injustice.
Mama and Uncle Henrik were speaking in code, discussing the impending Holocaust. Annemarie realizes that she never had a Great-Aunt Birte. So she realizes she was told a lie and that her folks were keeping another danger from her. She was also confused when Uncle Henrik said he was going to spend the night on his boat because the weather would be good for fishing. She knew that he never really cared about the weather and that bad weather would not keep him from fishing. This is loosely based on information from the GradeSaver site.
