 ~The photo above is of Anelise Platt who became of a friend of Lois Lowry's.  She was a young ten year old girl living in Copenhagen at the time of the Niai's Occupation.  I wonder if the author used the names Annemarie and Lise to honor her friend?

 ~These are actual young German soldiers who patrolled on Østerbrogade Street.

 ~The real King Christian X

 ~Kim Malte Brunn who shares many of the character traits of Perter Neilsen.
