Mr. Johansen convinced the Germans that Ellen was his daughter by fabricating a backstory. He claimed that Ellen was a member of their family and that they were hiding her from the Nazis for her safety. He also provided a believable reason for her presence in their home, emphasizing their bond as a family to avoid suspicion. This quick thinking helped protect Ellen from being discovered as a Jewish girl.
