The Upstairs Room, by Johanna Reiss, is a book set in Holland during
World War II, telling a story from the very beginning of the war to the end. It all starts out when Annie and her Jewish family are restricted and abused by German soldiers that have taken over their town. Soon Annie and her sister, Sini, are taken into hide from the Germans by the Hannicks. Within weeks they are living with the Oostervelds, a sweet, gentile family of three. Living with Opoe, Johan, and Dientje, Annie and Sini live in a cold, drab, upstairs room for nearly three years. When German soldiers come and create a German headquarter out of the Oosterveld's living room, they must be more quiet and careful than ever before. One day, the Germans flee from sight and are chased by Canadians back to Germany, and Annie and Sini must start a new life without the real family they lost two years ago.
