RGG: Very comprehensive history of Denmark during WWII describing more completely the Danish rescue of the Jews, but also the overall Danish resistance movement to the Nazi occupation of Denmark. DRA: 44.

library. It turned out to be a treasure trove of factual information told via the lives of a dozen or so children and teens. An excellent read for anyone, particularly those interested in World War II and/or Holocaust history. Show Less
